Headlights refinished
OEM spoiler
Tint - made the back darker and then matched the front (front not as dark as back per florida laws)
Where did you get the parts for the nav retrofit, if I may ask? How difficult was it?

Thanks.

I got the kit from lexusaudio...he is better reached at egusman@woh.rr.com. Its around 1500 from what i remember because you need a custom wiring kit, a screen/radio/ac control unit and a computer/dvd drive. I opted for the gen 4 drive which was a little more but much better.

oh sorry and to finish answering the question...he sends instructions and answers questions as you go so it wasnt hard. It does take time though if you want to be careful and do it right. It involves taking the rear seats out as well as several plastic pannels.

not too bad though.

Thanks much. I've sent him an email. Hopefully I'll get a response.

Sorry to hijack the thread again, but did you happen to notice the part number of the screen part of the nav?

Thanks.

I was wondering if you bought a leather seat kit, and replaced them yourself, or did you go to an car interior shop? Also, with my AUX and IPOD upgrade I got a Isimple FM modulator, link http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...0070921x00003a , this is the link from sears, but I bought it a best buy. It works amazing, I have had no problems at all and it extremely clear no static, all I had to do was drill a few holes and tap into a 12v source.

I just had my leather refinished by a guy here local. They does car and home leather repair and refinishing. I believe it was 160 plus tax for the RX. Left the leather looking like new. Ill get some pics up as soon as I can.

Coach grill looks great! Just got a coach ed with 34K miles for my wife and IMHO the mono chromatic paint made it look better. I say paint it! thinking of getting clear markers since the car is frost//pearl? white.

no but he is in Tampa area. Ill look for his card when i get home. You could always come to busch gardens in tampa for the day and have him do it while your here or something. He might be willing to meet up half way with you for a bit more $.
