I remember a very long time ago that I queried about where the air tank could go. I think from that exercise it was found that there is space under the RX frame to actually put in an airtank, given that AIRS was an option on some RX's. Obviosuly those that did not have air suspension would have this area free to install an aftermarket one.

^^^ yes very true. I was going to do that actually but had a moment of pure vanity and said what the hell. Show it off. I am gonna make a nice looking box for it or put it on the bottom cause the compressors are really unpleasantly loud.

With Coils add another $1,500+ I would predict.





I hope the images are not too large.

Keep in mind the wheels cost about $2K and then there is tires and so on and so on. Then the $1,600 lip kit painted and installed another $600 when done. Lots of money I could only spend cause I do not have kids or a GF lol!!
Wow You really spend a lot of money on your ride. I did that on my Scion, too
$7k for a custom 5.1 DTS theater surround sound system, $3k for one of a kind quad projector retrofit, wheels + tires was another 2K, Tein SSP with EDFC was nother 2k, PIAA fogs + many many misc mods, I could have bought another Scion lol. I can't do what you do anymore because I have wife + 2 yrs old plus planning more more kids. So limited money is allow on car modding per the Mrs. Very nice setup you have here.

^^ My Scion was about that as well. AirRunner and the likes. But this car is much more and will be much more than my scion ever was. I could never fully realize the VIP Style/ executive style with my xA.

Not to stray too off topic.....

Well I just done this beneficial mod for those that haven't seen my "how-to" as yet. It's given me a bit more sanity and well it's just better. It's a start at least https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...e-in-half.html

Here's a customer's RX330 at a show this weekend. We still have some work to do....some Midwest lighting and Pandora parts. Customer uses it as a daily driver!
