Well, I have seen those in many cars. Pontiacs, Taurus, Focus, I mean, it's something that I just wouldn't put on a Lexus. They just don't look good without supporting mods like chrome molding and enhanced aerodynamics. Just my .02c...

I don't think you should put those on a RX300. I see those stick on vents on some Yukon's and Tahoe's. It looks ok on those fullsize SUV's, but I agree with the previous opinion it won't look right without some type of chrome package(door handles, mirrors..etc) for the rest of the car.

Not sure if you're asking me door handles and such, but the reason I think it works for the higher end Tahoe's and Yukon's is because the side moldings have a chrome trim on it as well as the chrome handles. The running(step) boards also has a chrome trim on it as well as the rear bumper step molding, exhaust tips..etc.

Also, and the biggest bling are the wheels. The Tahoe/Yukon's I see have lots of big shiney wheels that take the focus away from the side vents.

I guess if you put all those things in on the Rx300 in understated fashion it wouldn't look bad. I personally wouldn't though as I like the look of the RX as it is.

I would hold out and save up for one of these: http://www.offroaders.com/tnt/6.htm

Added to the back seat area you are assured to score with the ladies, and maybe a few guys too.
