Yes, I like that very much. It's exactly the sort of look I was going for. Part of the reason that I went with Nebula instead of Silver was simply because I didn't like the lighter paint colors dissecting the two parts of the grille. I notice that you don't have parking sensors in the front, though? I wonder how that would affect the wrap. I'm assuming you'd have to leave the sensors unwrapped, which may look odd.

I really appreciate the pics, though. Well done.

Yeah I also wanted the one piece look from top to bottom and my first pick was actually Stargazer Black. But the wife wanted the Nebula Gray Pearl, so I made my own "one piece" grille!

With an exacto knife and some dexterity, you should be able to cut cleanly around the parking sensors. Then try cutting circular pieces of vinyl for the two sensors, apply on and see how it looks. If the job doesn't look right on the sensors, black plastidip the sensors (or the whole bumper if it doesn't look right). You got some options. Got luck and post pics if you end up making the change.

The white color is so good looking. I've yet to see one in the wild, so the pictures here have been great!

I have to say, after a little over a week of ownership, I'm thoroughly loving my RX F-Sport. As a die hard BMW fan (the RXF is my work vehicle, as I have a 650i GranCoupe as my personal ride), I was concerned that I might regret the purchase as too "soft." I'm really impressed with the suspension and steering feel, which is a departure from Lexus vehicles I've owned in the past. I'd like about 50 more HP and a bigger fuel tank, but other than that, well done, Lexus!

Wow, from a BMW enthusiast as yourself, that says a lot about how good the RX F-Sport is. Thanks for the real-world feedback.

Congratulations mordick. Looks sharp and really stands out especially when the streets are still dirty. If you bought this 2 months ago, I assume it's a 2013? What is interesting is you have the Garnet interior which we thought was never available (only black). Must depend on which country...

Also, what is you gender so we have complete stats? And yes, please post new pics with the stock 19s.

Wish we could get LEDs with the F-Sport here in the states. Looks great!
