We tried to get into a new RX. We were willing to pay for the 3000 original miles we put on the car. To get the exact car, same options, they wanted another $8K. The car was 6 months old!
The carfax that is now on the car is a MAJOR problem.

Trust me - I agree. Situation su***!

Spend the $2.50 and modify your vehicle folks.
Hopefully future RX's will have some protection added.

MAJOR PROGRESS!
End of thread is near club members - brand new engine from Japan has arrived to Lexus of Cherry Hill N.J. yesterday, 10/26.
attached photos:
1. Old engine out
2. Empty engine bay - I feel from this angle the oversized air dams are in clear view, and definately in need of a modification.
3. New engine being preped for install.
Will post again when we are back on the road!

Just as a note, a lot of cars share this same design, and a vast majority of them do not have a screen protecting the radiator. I personally think this is just a freak accident. It would be quite exagerrated, and extremist, to call it a major design flaw.
In any case, regardless of if you have a screen or not, you would know it and definitely FEEL IT if something large enough to cause damage to the radiator hit your car.

See post #9.
We felt or heard nothing.
