Default modding 2013 RX F

Wondering if anyone here has experience using Lexus (likely F-series) or other aftermarket performance parts on their cars and where would I go for more information.

I modded the hell out of my GTO and did a couple of things to my G35.

1) What do you want the truck to do? Don't just randomly throw parts at a car.
2) The aftermarket for the RX is going to be very small.
3) What is your budget? Remember, stuff is not going to be cheap and you are looking at very little return on your investment.

I wish they can make the F-sport more aggressive on the rear as well. The new f-sport reminds me of Audi q5/q7 - aggressive front but boring back.

Throw some wider tires on it and slam it lol

It will look more aggressive but might not be as functional or effigient

Hopefully lowering springs will be available and we can see some Vossen's on it!

If I was really interested in performance, I don't think I would buy an RX. Over the years, I have owned a number of performance cars and they are a totally different experience to drive.
