Default A front runner grille guard on the Lexus

I own a Lexus RX350.
Should I get one for it?
It looks like this after installation:
Let me know your input! Thanks

IMO the bar looks to offroad for the RX350. I would like to see that bar on an RX350 with offroad tires and rims then it might look right.

It's good to have if you parallel park on the streets. Parking in NYC is a must.

I think it looks more like a football helmet.

Those look more like handrails than a brush guard

WHY? Why would you do that to the RX?

No ... don't get it. It is the ugliest thing I have ever seen on an RX.

Looks Ghetto, and I wouldn't trust that site at all. SUVdressup.com looks very shady to me, wouldn't trust a purchase there.

That thing is uglier than ugly. Don't screw up the RX looks with that thing.
Of course this is just my opinion, and as you know opinions are like noses (being nice) and everyone should have one. Enjoy your RX as manufactured.

I bought a rear bumper guard, steps bars from them. They are really good (cheaper than other sites, fast 2 days shipping) I just ordered a bull bar from them and waiting it comes.

Well, the OP is shady as he does not have an RX as stated. Search justng11 in google and you will see he posted on virtually every car forum yesterday saying he had X brand car and if he should get X accessory from that site. All registered yesterday and one single post. Nice way to SPAM and not pay for it, they'll never get my business.

The RX is not an OFF-ROAD vehicle !!! Why would you want to make a nice luxury SUV look like it belongs in a Mexican drug cartel ???

^LOL, that's extreme. I bet it can handle off roading conditions.
