New member hello, and a few questions...
Hello from a new member!
I just posted in the "supension" part of the forum as well...
Here's a question... I keep getting the chromed tire stem caps stolen off my RX by kids who use them for their bikes... At $2.85 each it's not a HUGE deal, but it's inconvenient and annoying. Any ideas to prevent this? I thought about putting a little vaseline or the like on the outsides of them - hmmm...
Also, anybody know where can I get the following accessories?...
-chrome mirror covers
-chrome wiper covers
-chrome tailgate cover
Also saw a tip that said you can use paint thinner/remover and steel wool to "chrome" your grill - is that a legit tip or will it just mess your grill?
Thanks much - looking forward to your tips!

WOW, is it me or are the prices at that site really high? $95.00 for the Luggage net? I just bought it for $23.95, genuine Lexus part.
I have been looking for the chrome exhaust tip myself, but $85.00??

chrome exhaust tip...
Just go to a quality auto parts store for an aftermarket chrome exhaust tip... got mine at Western Auto for $30 or so... They have an "SUV" size that fits perfectly - plus the chrome is thick so it stands up beautifully to even the brutal sand, salt, and snow that come with winters here in Wisconsin.

not a bad idea, but I think I'd be worried about retaliation - i.e. keying my RX or something like that... Cheaper to replace a $2.85 stem cap than have to have a door repainted.

Valve Stems
I must admit when I first read your post, I found it amusing. Until today when I went outside and found all four of my chrome valve stems gone!! I live in a development with lots of kids, but have my own driveway. Let me see a kids bike sporting chrome valve stems....
Is it same to assume I can by replcements anywhere that sells rims?
They better not make a habit of this!!
