Saw this and thought it looks quite nice on the RX. I would probably paint it black but it's quite an expensive proposition. There is also mention that it needs the rear tow bar hitch removed, but I think this is if you bought the related exhaust pipes. From a styling perspective it looks quite sweet. Let me know your thoughts





The black RX with the chrome exhaust looks awesome

 

the silver one with the black rims is sweet. I like the kit

 

looks like it's some kind of diffuser type add-on (snap-on)?

 

Yeah that's what it looks to be. I have yet to email the company (or get someone who can write and read Japanese), to find out further details about it, price for just the piece that clips to the back. Where it stands out for me is that it matches up with the OEM sides if painted.

 

That's sweet. Reminds me of a Cayenne!

Could it be JDM?

 

The company looks to be a Japanese company. I am in Australia, but does anyone know how to speak, write and read Japanese so that enquiries can be made? I might try my luck and send an english email but doubt I wil get much of a response. The website incidentally is

Main website is http://www.meiwa-net.com/ and the direct page to the Harrier (or RX330) section is http://www.meiwa-net.com/c4/harrier/page1.htm

 

Additionally does anyone know what that front lip is? It looks like a WALD lip? Didn't think it would look that good with just the sides painted. Thought it would have been a lot lower than the side OEM's.

 

That looks awsome! Should be factory like that!

looks good

 

look great.. how much though?

 

Rear looks good. Front end not so good. Yes it's JDM.

 

I love the rear end too. However, i was looking at a standard RX330 for sale on ebay to compare and there is no way that rear bumper is a snap-on, onto the factory rear bumper.

Reason 1 - The black side skirts on the rear bumper angle upwards to meet the rear bumper on the factory RX. The ones in these pictures go straight back and wrap into the rear facia.

Reason 2 - The part of the bumper that those beautiful exhaust tips are a part of takes over more of the bumper surface than the factory one does.

This leaves me to two conclusions. Either the side skirts and rear facia are detachable and therefore must of required cutting the original bumper, or it is a completely different bumper designed to give the vehicle the "factory" kind of look.

Just my humble opinion. But if you look and the bumper lights, the distance and position the rear facia is in comparison to them and then look at the factory RX, the factory RX facia is further away from them.
