No this is the way we wanted the car .Would have like the HID's because that is what is in our 2005RX now but I have asked a lot of people on Club Lexus and the dealer called some higher up with Lexus and I talked to him for over 20 minutes about this. My wife only has center vision in here left eye so that is why we put in the HUD and the Wide-view Side monitor to make it easier for to drive the car. The RSES is for our son who has autism and does not like to go very far in a car. To get the RSES ;you have to get the ML system. The rain-sensing wipers are for Mobile, Al becuse it rains over 65" a year here. This the second car we have order from Lexus. We ordered our 2005 RX because she wanted Black Forest Pearl with a ML and HID's .

after driving the RX for 2 weeks now I'm thinking to get a HID too its too dark out there and I don't usually turn on my fog lights cause I might forget to turn them off. The last thing we want is to be outside calling a AAA with a LEXUS car beside you.

That sounds like my car, but paid 57K.

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control ,Glass breakage sensor , and the sport package. Still like to drive the car so no need for the Radar cruise control think I would get to used to it on the highway and zone out at the wrong time

billy, the glass breakage sensor is like $100 from Sewell if you change your mind on that. BTW, how are you liking the LEDs?

never go anywhere that I would need the glass breakage sensor but think you so much did not think of Sewell for that part. The car is still on order might be here the end of December but I would think it is going to be January.

I really wish I could've gotten White/Black. The tan interior shows all kinds of dirt.

When your hobby entails spending hours arms deep inside an engine bay or on your back pulling shocks or struts, you tend to track a bit of dirt and grime into the car, no matter how careful you are or how clean you try to get. Black seats and carpet would have helped immensely. Also a lot better at hiding scuffs and what not if you're hauling large or bulky loads that will rub the sides of the cargo area.

I bought my RX 450H from Sewell. As a bonus I had them install some additional items for $0., Mud flaps, body side molding, and glass breaker. Sewell, pushed back on the glass breaker, they told me that it takes 3 hours with an experienced installer to put it in. they have to remove the dash on the passenger side to get way up and under the dash. This unit is modular and snaps in to a harness to the right of the radio on the drivers side. They did a great install, no scratches or squeaks. They did put it in for $0.00.
Cash is King, & Cash talks!
If you want a glass breaker sensor order it from factory. Its no do it yourself.

Sewell provides the installation instructions on their website for the glass breakage sensor in case anyone wants to know what's in store. Fortunately mine came with it. The dealer installed the JDM visors the day of delivery and the mud guards at the 30 day check-up at no cost. Both items were purchased elsewhere. I could have done it myself but the weather was cold and snowy.
