I just saw the wide arm rest on ebay. There is actually a website to order it from (can't think of it atm but you can search for it on here).

I'm a purist. My new RX450h is unique enough and gets a lot of questions at gas stops, restaurants, etc. See album pics

The day I got mine, I immediately scheduled it to have the front windows tinted to match the back. I'm well on my way.
+1 on the front window tint, age 61, live in VA, own two 2004 RX's, no real mods but love the new Pebble Beach wheels, might buy a set in the future if I can get a good price on Ebay.

Finish install ThunderCloud Grille, Nigel's JDM led side mirror with puddle light & H11 HID conversion kit for RX400 fog lights.

TC grille


LED turn signal
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...ml#post4692331

H11 HID conversion kit 5000K
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/hyb...fog-light.html

Littodevil and I also have discussed and plan for the new HID retrofit project for my RX400h
it will have only 2 projects and not 4 like what I had on my Scion tC but it will have high power led for DRL & high beam just like the new Audi A8, more details later

LEXveryG8, have you heard of the body kit from Extreme Dimension, they claim they use "Duraflex" material, very flexible and the kit itself is pretty reasonable


http://www.extremedimensions.com/10828.html


Here is the pictures of their kit:
Front ( this kit don't come with the ugly front grille)


Rear


Side skirt



Anyone have experience with this company or material ? I've found this kit
for $849 free shipping.

That's a good looking kit!! The huge wheels gotta go, but the rest looks like it's worth pursuing..

I need to find out from my bodyshop buddy how much it will cost for paint and install, I want them to color match and maybe blend a bit so the kit blends well with the RX. As for the wheel, need something better looking than what's on the pictures.

The grille in the pic needs to go along with the wheels. I think it would look better with a stock or chrome grille..

Good luck with this kit if you decide to go with it. I'll bet it will look awesome!!

It's either a HIT or MISS with the ED kits. I've heard stories where the fit/finish was not great at all, while others were so-so. I guess you get what you pay for.

I believe you can find the kit cheaper from some other vendors. There's one vendor selling on ebay but it's for the other ED kit, not the one you pictured.
