Let me explain a bit on my post as it seems I have to do this allot when it's a post other than "what break pads should I get" or "I can't open my hatch". I you don't care don't post. Makes for negativity that should stay in the less educated car threads that are filled with teenagers driving multicolored Honda's cause they can't afford to paint the replaced fender on there "salvaged" vehicle and have wings the size of an F/16. But think they are driving Lambo.

I think maybe some people don't get the Japanese domestic market or know just how gadget crazed they are. It's all good. I don't understand owning a Rolex cause they are kind of middle class (every construction worker in HK has one) but understand the value of a Piaget ALLOT more. It's a culture thing. But for people that love the JDM market thing appreciate these things. Japanese domestic market means they are not sold here in the USA (USDM). You have to look for shops or dealers are actually sell "real" JDM and not the cheap crap like XXR wheels made in China. They are made for Japanese customers and are always special orders for us if we can find sellers that are legit. Why we pay so much for them. This particular thing is probably about $25 in Japan.

This is a HUGE business and getting bigger as people get exposure to quality products or just love the culture. Anyway I knew I was taking a risk posting that some would not understand or care. But this stuff is top quality and worth every penny. $40K car $80 product OEM JDM is not THAT expensive.

Hey, if the man wants to spend $80 on his vehicle, let him spend it anyway he chooses. Yes, JDM products are very, very nice and a quality product. In this world, consumers are given choices. You can spend $300 for JDM window deflectors vs $150 competitor's, the choice is yours.

infinirx, I can't understand how the trash container works, maybe you can explain it, but it's pretty neat looking. Obviously it takes a certain person to appreciate JDM accessories and you are definitely one of them. I have the visors on my 450h. Sure I could have gone with Weathertechs for much less but IMO the JDMs are the best and worth the extra money. Thank you for sharing your friend's website. Does she have any fun stuff for 3rd gen

wr332, are you really that lazy to dispose of trash properly? One of these days a cop is going to catch you. Your punishment should be to spend a few days picking up trash on the the roads in Newark or Paterson. Maybe that would change your mind. Please be considerate to your neighbors.

putting a garbage bin inside your car was a stupid idea. this guy should just waste his money on a mercedes
I guess that's the attitude in New Jersey. Do that in California, the minimum fine is $1000.

Let's refrain from State bashing here. We're here to talk about cars.

i'm not proud of it. it's something what i do but you guys brought this up and i just don't lie , i'm 100% sure everyone has thrown out trash on streets on or off car, maybe when your a kid and your parents thrown it out before.. i just admit what i have done it. stop acting like you never ever thrown trash, maybe in high school you miss the trash can and you would go over and pick it up ?

ps. people who smoke(Ashes) or breath(old air) already thrown trash out

that is actually a nice piece. I guess I might opt for the passenger foot well as the location to place it.

Or a GS350?

Back on topic, I've seen this at another vendor's site and considered it. Like vg1134 said, I too, might opt for the passenger side. But might be a little hard to reach from the driver's side. Looks good either way.

I will post some photos to better show. Been very busy with other mods that are more important to me but less of a thing this site would care about seeing. Mostly interior show stuff. This particular thing here is actually functional.

You could do that easy. It's universal unless there is a part on our passenger side that inhibits the installation inside the wall.

Question

Yes it's JDM exclusive so it's a tad pricey but it's also OEM quality and easy to install. I use it allot now and it's so easy to use and emty out. I see so many technical questions come up here and we nitpick our cars allot. I think a post that has really nothing to do with much but enjoying your RX and keeping it clean might be fun.

With that said I thought I would share a couple of pics

This is from the site. No drilling! can also adjust the distance so it's closer and less distracting to use while driving. This is the light Tan for that interior but you can get the light Grey and Black as well. Just press the button and it pops open.



Seems silly but it's a great find I think. Every little thing to help me keep the car clean and neat Yes I know I need to wash my floor mats
What is the website for this product??

Hey I just wanted to say that I had a revelation. Silly me it WAS meant for the Passengers side! It's JDM so that OEM photo was taken of a right hand drive Toyota Harrier. So funny. You can even see the the separate plastic wall to have access inside the dash. It's only on the passengers side. If you see my photo the drivers side is one full wall. I think I am gonna get another one

K so here are some pics. It looks like it impedes your leg but it really doesn't at least for me. My foot is at an angle for the break and gas therefore my leg is too. My leg hardly ever touches the box and I forget it's there. However I do seem to bend to reach the box a bit. Better left for when at a red light if on the driver side.





Give an extra pull and it's comes out easy so you can empty the can.
