denslexusgx470 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Here are the pics of her. Sorry the weather has been on and off rain but I'll let you all decide which pics were after it rained and which ones were after I washed her ;)
cduluk Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 She's MINT! Such low mileage too! What a great find. <_< The Rx300 holds its age SO well, i miss mine so much. :(
denslexusgx470 Posted February 26, 2011 Author Posted February 26, 2011 These mint conditions vehicles are hard to find. I was fortunate enough to find it even though it was located 200 miles away from my place. I'll post more possibly after I changed the crappy tires. Traction sucks and everyone is saying that its starting to crack due to lack of use :-/ BTW does anyone know where I can buy a Chrome exhaust tip for this? I've checked with my Lexus dealer and they don't have one.

denslexusgx470 Posted February 28, 2011 Author Posted February 28, 2011 Thanks Steve but I don't think any chrome tip will work because the tail pipe is originally bent. Probably have to go to a muffler shop so they can fit me one that would look nice. I'll post some pics of the interior soon. Didn't realize that I only posted pics of the exterior only.
denslexusgx470 Posted March 4, 2011 Author Posted March 4, 2011 Tires really make a big difference. Got rid of those Toyos that it had and turns out the previous tire shops tightened the lug nuts way too hard. Today they took about 30 seconds (not even exaggerating) to unscrew each lug nut off my wheels sheesh
cduluk Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Damn, that's one clean car. <_< I forgot the SS Rx's had the perforated seats (love them)!
cduluk Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Mine in black... It looks beautiful!! The Rx300 design was so way ahead of its time. You'd never guess it was designed 14 years ago (1998). Every time i see one on the road i forget what year it is, i just fall in love with it all over again! I loved mine. :)
takaiguchi Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 I just got a 2001 SS in perfect condition. This car is amazing.
denslexusgx470 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Been a year since I've posted regarding my RX. mrhoads your silversport still looks great too! Sets us apart from other RX300s on the road with the one tone paint and the honeycomb grill. Not a big fan of the aluminum interior trim instead of wood grain but I can adjust. Only thing that I didn't like about the Silversport is the black pearl emblems. Such a pain to avoid scratching. My front one is starting to peel and I've inquired with my dealer about how much a new replacement is. $120 for a black emblem versus $40 for a regular chrome emblem. :chairshot:

They'll have the same OEM part for a lot cheaper!

This may be the year I finally trade it in - I'm liking the rumored 2013 RX450h F-Sport. I have't had any issues with my emblems (knock on wood). I had to replace a leaking sunroof at around 110,000 miles and a air mix servo (which is acting up again after only 1-1/2 years :( ). But that's it as far as things breaking. It's a solid car that's served me well for 10-1/2 years. And it does look great too!

They'll have the same OEM part for a lot cheaper! I don't believe there is a part number for it. I was told (which could be the wrong info) by the parts person was that they order a regular chrome emblem and that chrome emblem is sent out to a shop (All this must be Lexus certified I'm presuming) who does the black pearl for these emblems (hence black pearl looks different from those who paint or powder coat their emblems.) I may just save up $120 for that one emblem to keep the same original look without the small peeling of the front emblem.

I wish I had the budget for a 13 RX450 F-sport but I probably would have to sell at least 2 or 3 cars to buy or lease an RX f-sport. Currently I don't have any plans to sell my Silversport. But who knows what the future may hold ;)
denslexusgx470 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 Just thought I'd post updated pictures like I did with the GX and 4Runner (which is now officially gone) Picture with my 4Runner in it was the last moments before I handed the keys over ='(
denslexusgx470 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 Boy does time fly! Looking back to the first posts I made about this baby and it's been, 30k miles since then :chairshot:
denslexusgx470 Posted December 4, 2013 Author Posted December 4, 2013 Updated. Not much to add to this since the vehicle can't really be modified that much without ruining the original look. Decided to tint my whole windshield and has been my handy companion in my cycling adventures
