aurora white has a slight blue tinge in it, and imho, looks better than starfire. aurora white has a vibrant look to it, that's the best way i can describe it. if you were to put aurora white beside starfire white, starfire white would look ordinary.
btw, aurora white is only available for the 450h, with starfire white for the rx350 (at least it is up here in canada - you need to check with your dealer if aurora white is available for the regular rx350).
edit: i looked up lexus.ca, and a quick search showed that aurora white is only available for the rx450h. no other lexus has this color, not even the LS. in other words, if you like white, want a rx450h, aurora white is a no brainer. this rare color makes it highly desireable.
to all: thx for all the congrats, it is appreciated!

Congrats on the pick up of the RX. We are trading in our 2008 GS 350 AWD for the same car...US spec anyway, which means it will have the grey interior, which by the way, like the Aurora white pearl, is unique in design to the 450h.
I am glad you like it and especially the color. That was the same reason my wife decided to order the Auroa White. We have the Opaline Pearl GS and it is the same as Starfire with a purple tint to it and does make Starfire look plane.
Look forward to your non-lazy interior pics. I will post pics here on the RX forum when I get mine by the end of the month.

and that's just what came out this year and is available. i believe more jdm tuners will come out with more aftermarket parts within the next year or two as the 3rd gen RX becomes more popular and main stream.
if you look at those websites, and it doesn't appeal to you, that's OK. it's not for everyone. personally i don't like driving "stock", and don't want my RX to look like every other RX that is on the road (which is why women like to get designer handbags, etc to differentiate themselves from other women in the world). us guys are no different, we choose to do so with our vehicles.

It's hard to figure out which one I like the most, not that I think I would add one of these kits. Unfortunately it would be an invitation for trouble around here. But you have some great options with probably many more to come. I would appreciate if you keep me posted on other mods you find
Thanks!
