Smile Imitating a Pebble Beach Edition RX?

I don’t plan to do it as it would probably cost a few thousands; which to me is no worth for cosmetic changes. I noticed from the Lexus website that the Pebble Beach Edition mainly has unique paint, wheel and badge-ing. Wouldn’t it be possible for you to request the dealer/collision center to repaint your RX 330 or 350 with that special Mica or Silver color, order and install the special wheels and grill as well as ordering Pebble Beach badges? Then you could go online or some Lexus accessories site and order chrome door handles and new badges from 330 to 350.

Considering the cost of a Lexus paint job, it might be cheaper to trade the car.

yeah I agree it would be expensive and I am not into cosmetic upgrades, but I got to say it looks sharp.

I actually like the look of the Pebble Beach grille and wheels. Just having those will freshen the aging look of my '04 RX.

Getting new rims and grille would be a good upgrade. Then go get chrome covers for the handles...you are all set. Carson-Lexus sells them for $100 but look like very good chrome covers. Rejuvenated look! Nobody can tell you have an 04!

A PB is silver. Just add the PB badges and the "chromier" new grille and you have a "pebble beach edition" look alike.
