you can say the whole car was photoshop because of the blue screen behind
I don't think anyone will go with those wheels with this bodykit, it just doesn't go together. The picture is just for illustration only

please tell me what you really think lol
i didnt plan to have double NAV; i tried to keep the stock headunit and use a JL cleansweep and/or RF 3Sixty both of which did not sound as good as some crap jensen CD player the shop had lying around. Once i decided to replace the HU the size was double din and every top of the line double din unit also has NAV
the garmin innards on the kenwood are much nicer; it is the equivelent to a roadtrip 2500 which by itself retails for more than the kenwood unit...go figure

Wow with 22s, you will feel every little bump. The trunk setup is huge lots of bass but take up too much space for my taste. Frankr66 did you Dynamat or use other product to
cover the trunk ? Does having that much bass rattles a lot ?

i must say that everyone had told me that i would be feeling every bump and the ride would suck with the 22's and they were all wrong. it rides more like a audi in that you are more in tune with the road and not isolated but it still cruises like a Lexus should
the only dynamat in my car is in the doors and rear hatch; it is pretty well insulated from the factory
funny thing about the rattles is that when i only had 2 subs the front interior light would rattle like crazy and annoy the hell out of me; now with the 4 subs the bass is so loud you cant hear that rattle anymore lol
i wanted a super loud and super clear sound system and i acheived that; its hitting in the 150db+ range and not just playing test tones; i got the mids and power to carry the bass with music and it gives me an ear to ear smile everytime i crank it a little.
my only worry now is i really think im close to cracking the sunroof; it moves so much it is almost the equivelent of using the tilt button!

I'm in Hong Kong now shopping for some accessories for my RX400H, I did pick up a couple of JP neck cushion dirt cheap and a 90mm broadway wide mirror for better rearview. I will post some pictures later on once I have time to go online again, my next hunt are the JP medium size curtains and chrome b pillars hope to get a good deal on them cos they cost way too much in US.

Putting a lip kit on a stock suspension just is like having a camera with no lens. In traditional modding one must do his suspension and wheels first. Stance, then kit! Crystal RX it's just not only does not look right it does not compliment the kit.
Of course this is just my opinion. But it is based on being heavily into the modding world for a while now so it's also my own personal experience.
At the very least get some H&R springs. will be about a 2" drop after it settles and with wide larger wheels it will be a smooth ride.
PS: Jumped on Crystal RX too quick. That was a while back lol!!

I have just done small things to and don't plan on major cosmetic changes:
- 15% tint on front windows to match factory tint
- replaced all inside lights with LEDs
- LED fog lights, LED license plate lights, LED parking/driving lights

There are some cars that are appropriate for heavy modding and some that aren't. The RX is not one of them. I love all things modded including my bimmer but the RX just doesn't look right with dubs and a kit especially not lowered. Maybe some yellow fog bulbs, vent visors, etc. but that's it. Just JDM accessorize it. I'm 32 btw. I have 16 years of modding all my cars.
