Default 2017 RX350 FSport Build Thread - MUST SEE 😉

Not sure the why RX sub-forum doesn’t have a build thread section like the RCF or GS, which I’ve also posted.

Well, this thread is to document and share all my ‘mods’ I made to this vehicle, big or small.

I’ll try my best to upload the mods in chronological order.

Feel free to ask any questions or give your opinions (good or bad)!

Enjoy!

Default Pick-up Day!

Picked up this 2017 with 28k on the dash for $41k on Aug 15, 2022.

I made sure it had AWD, pano roof, and LED lighting package!

Default Dashcam Install

Can’t drive a car without any type of surveillance!

Transferred my dashcam from my old vehicle to the RX.

Properly hardwired and wire managed for that clean OEM like look. I HATE dangling, loose wires.

Wire loomed thru

Default Radar Detector Install

Honestly, I rely heavily on a radar detector whether I’m going slow or fast.. just being aware of my surroundings!

Transferred from my old vehicle to the RX.

Hardwired for that clean OEM look.


Took power from rearview mirror

Mounted cleanly with the dashcam

Default JDM OEM Door Handle Garnish

Wanted some chrome accents on the door handles so I found some JDM OEM pieces.

JDM means that it is sold in the Japan market, so I had to get these imported.

Default Cubby Light Add-on

We all know how dark the cubby can get during the day, especially at night.

So I did a little mod to add a light. Turns on when car is on and off when car is off. And no, it doesn’t dim at all.


The console piece.. front view

Back view..

Drilled a hole

The light

Wow

Wow!

Never liked black mirrors on a car (unless it’s a black car), so I bought some new color-keyed mirror covers.

Coming from an Hybrid base RX I was surprised to see the F-Sport scuff plates did not light up. Would definitely like to do this mod someday. Can I ask how much these set you back and what the install process was like?
