Let us know... Personally though I was thinking about having the black sideskirts that are already on the RX painted to match and then protected with RockChip to keep em nice... That was just a thought - not sure if I'll go through with it. I think it'd look nice though.

Thats what I have been looking for.
Any opinion on the grill guard or rear light guards too?
Chrome looks nice but i prefer the black ones.

Manik doesn't make chrome sidetubes, they are either black are stainless steel. I thought they were chrome before I looked into buying them and was pleasantly surprised that they are stainless.

Thumbs up

A group buy will be good. I will consider buy one if it's a killer deal.

Has anyone seen the stainless steel tubes made by Waag?

Which one is better, Waag or Manik?

You can't go wrong with either WAAG or Manik. WAAG offers bright anodized aluminum or satin black finish for their side tubes, and Manik offers stainless steel and a black finish.

I chose Manik because I preferred the look of the tubes and the look of the stainless. I like the way the Maniks don't wrap under the vehicle.

HOWEVER - WAAG does not require drilling to mount and the Maniks do.

Coo, more responses then i intended... i'll look into it for us... but give it some time since i'm busy. I like the Manik ones better and expecting to get a stainless steel one.

I was looking at the manik tailight covers and i have mix feelings about it. I dont know if i should get em or not... my rx3 already has bars all over... hahha and the stainless would match all my other bars...

But first its gotta be the sexy sidesteps.

HarrierRX300, check out my thread on my Maniks. Because of the curve of the side of the RX and the way the Maniks fit closely to the body (this does, however, make them look great) they won't be much help from door dings. Still look great though, and makes it easier to access the top of the RX.
