Default New RMM Grille

Yep...

Thanks, ronncat. I dig it immensely. The very first time I read these words on the RMM website, I agreed completely:

"The RMM custom grill insert makes a huge visual impact! The stock bumper is all horizontal lines, yet the stock grill has all vertical lines . . . we didn't think it looked quite right, so we solved the problem. The answer is - the RMM Grill Insert."

DADDY-0 looks very nice, i like it.
i see also you have the weathertech window guards. i just got a full set for x-mass. they were a ***** to put on. very hard to bend into place. but anway.
got a question..... i also got the front plastic bug gaurd that just attaches with tape. if i put it on do you think if i go through the car wash it will break or come off.

anyone have this bug guard or know about it

We're going mod crazy in here, mostly thanks to ronncat For sure, I can't wait to get a new set of tires - Michelin's in 235. I'll have to wear out these GY's.

Also, I'm developing a website, so maybe a video of my new mods is in order!

You have a two wheel drive right?
A good way to "wear down" the tires would be to do soem nice smoky burnouts. Be sure to video tape em as well heh.

Maybe you have a four wheel drive?
Climb under the car, disconnect the drive shaft, and voila you have a two wheel drive perfect for doing some nice burnouts.

Then pick up your new tires.

*Disclaimer* I am not responsible for any damge inflicted upon your vehicle hehe.

After my next mod, I'll be waiting to hear if the new RX 330 OEM 17" and 18" wheels will retrofit on the RX 300. Interesting, though is that the tire sizes mentioned for the RX 330 are hard to find. It looks like they're Michelin MXV4 Plus. 225/65R17 and 235/55R18

I'm thinking the same about the new RX wheels.

And no burnouts for me, I can't bring myself to do that to my RX Plus, FWD burnouts are silly...the new tires will come soon enough. I must wait out the GY's

New grill looks great Daddy-O! Congrats, can't wait to see it in person Jan 18th at the Charlotte meet!


Hmmmm... what do your think your black RX would look like with smoked front marker lights? I might just have enough spray left over from mine to give it a shot .
