Everything looks sweet to me... Wing is a nice touch. Do you have the rest of the TRD kit or just the front?

it looks weird if you try to force it on.. i used thick urethane spacers for most of the kit so it hung lower and flowed better

bumfighter, after you bring the car back to the body shop to get the TRD lip to fit right, I would consider having the black side mouldings painted the same color as the cladding and the lip. That would greatly achieve more of the "body kit" look (just without the side skirts and rear bumper)

I saw a white RX330 at the FBF meet in Brooklyn yesterday, and the RX looks very cool with painted side mouldings, grille and rear spoiler.
