Introducing Larna
In my ongoing tradition of naming every new car I get, I would like to introduce Larna to the forums. Larna is a 2005 Lexus RX330 Sports Luxury and replaced my old car Harriet (which was a 2003 model). Here are a few pictures.
There are a couple of things that will need to be done on the car (mostly personal things) but we'll see how we go. For now just enjoying driving the "new to me" car as quite frankly it is sooooo much quieter than my last car.
In Australia, we have 2 flavours with the 2nd Gens (we have 3 or 4 with the 3rd gen's) being "Sports" or "Sports Luxury". The "Sports Luxury" is pretty much Nav screen with the GPS, sunroof, ML stereo etc and everything that the Sports doesn't have.
Things I intend for Larna are

Things I intend for Larna are
- Get some European style plates for the front particularly as I hate that number plate holder
- New Tyres (these have thread but will need to get replaced)
- Tint for the front windows
- Lip for the front
- Module to control the power mirrors via the remote
- IPod adapter for the stereo (probably a GTA at this stage, nothing too fancy)
- Possibly an updated grill
- A new tow ball too
- Get rid of at least the cross (Lexus genuine) braces on the roof rack

Looks good! Very similar to the 04 I just picked up. Were you able to get a decent price for the 03 that you had issues with?
I'm planning to remove the roof rack on mine as well as I doubt I'll ever use it and think it might look a bit cleaner without it and might reduce some wind noise around the sunroof.

I've been checking lots of stuff out since I bought my wife's rx330 this past Saturday.
