I went with aftermarket cross bars, I use them couple of times a year and they come on and off very easy.

My thoughts exactly.

We just picked up a new 2011 RX350 and it came with the cross bars installed. I think it adds a little contrast to the roof and I really do not hear any noise from it plus you never know when you just might need to throw something on top to haul home.

I removed mine

I took the cross bars off and no wind noise. So much better. Now I have to get rid of those damn rattles on the right side.

Our RX came with them and I can't hear any wind noise. I'll just leave them on, they don't affect the looks one way or the other, imo. Maybe with a lighter colored car it might look a bit different, but with Black Sapphire they don't even show up.
