Hi all,
I'm new here, although I've been reading topics here for quite a few years. I will introduce myself in another topic later.
I live in The Netherlands and I currently own a RX450h. (Previous IS250 and GS450h).
On the GS450h, I mounted the rear bumper and exhaust end of the USA GS350.
Now I basically want to do the same thing with my RX450h.
So from:



To:



The problem here is, that my local dealer needs more information to be able to do the mod. Like the VIN of a 350 for the parts to order. Also the 450h only has one real exhaust, while the 350 already has two, in the correct positions.

Anybody here who did this? Or has any advice on who to approach this? What to do and what no? Why do it or why not at all?! :-)

Thanks a lot in advance!
Hope to hear from you!

Why don't you just buy the RX350 at the first time? Problem solve.

Cause they don't sell the 350 in my country ;-)

In Europe had been sold also RX200t (RX300), which is having same rear bumper as US RX350.
So dealer should be having all informations they need to order bumper for your car.

Search the Lexus dealers in the US for a RX350 F-Sport, the website shows the vin numbers right on the site. Give that to your dealership. Not sure why they wouldn’t be able to do that for you.

Ah that's useful, thanks!!!
(Dealer here is willing to do the mod, but they have bad experience with ordering parts for US cars. I want to help them a bit ;-))

Did you ever get this done?

Was it difficult?

No I didn't. I planned to but then COVID hit in. I even sold the car and bought an ES :-D
