  1. I would suggest having the seller try to read the numbers off the inside of the rim, But they should fit. Lexus rims are usually all 5X114.3 bolt pattern for all models except for the LX 4xx models.
  2. This is good news. We spend so much $$$ to get these cars and maintain them, not having to spend thousands to fix minor details is great news.
  3. My bumper gots a good sized collision inprint on it. Looks like someone hit into my Rx300 hit the bumper and left a square sized imprint. Inside the square looks like the hex screw from there license plate. Anybody know if this is expensive to fix. Its a real eye sore. :cries:
  4. Im a bit confused here and am not sure what my options are. I own a 2001 Rx300. I recently upgrade my OEM head lights to Sylvania Silverstar 9006 after about 3 months one of them burned out. :cries: I've been searching through the posts and have read very different things so I need to clarity. 1. I read you could upgrade to Xenon if I had 2001 to 2003 headlight body ? Q: Is this true ? Q. Is Xenon the same as HID ? Q: Does Xenon require additional hardware like HID ? 2. I read all of the post stating the Sylvania Silverstar were the best upgrade for clear Halogen but Im not in complete agreement with this. I did a very clean install making sure I didnt touch the lamp and it burned out in 3 months... Q: Does anybody have any opinions on other brands like Piaa, Hella, Phillips ect ect..
  5. Larry H Miller of Murray wanted 500.00 for 60K Maitenence ....
  6. I was pulling into the parking lot at the Mall came to a stop and was waiting for a Lady to pull out of her spot. When an Idiot backed out of his spot and hit my Front Passenger side tire and fender. Didnt do any body damage but My Winsheild Wiper Sensor came on and the fluid no longer sprays. Any thoughts on this !!!
  7. As far as the car goes the RX300 is a awsome SUV, the ride, comfort and power are awsome but it does sound like your paying abit much for a 2000. I purchased a 02 awd w/ Nav 50k miles cpo (it was a return from lease 1 owner) for 24K and 1 year ext warrenty. I think kbb says retail value is now 17K now.
  8. Are you talking about the console were the stero is ? If so heres a step by step removal guide http://www.carstereohelp.com/stereoremovalLexusRX330Str.htm
  9. I completely agree I have 70K miles on my rx300 and no signs of trouble No vehicle is 100% trouble free especially over time but with proper maintenance and I think you can keep the worries to a minimum.
  10. Mine were 20 x 9 honestly i probly should have gone with 245/40/20 tires probably would have given me a softer ride
  11. I 255/35/20 on rx300 with 1.5 spacers on and they fit just fine
  12. I had similar problem when I put my 20 inch rims rx300. The sidewall of the tire was rubbing on the shock absorber boot. So they put 1.5 spacers on. If it helps you any the tires size was 255/35/20 and the rims were 20 x 9.5
  13. heres a link to a site that did testing a few differend brand name oil filters. Read and make your own opinion http://www.ntpog.org/reviews/filters/old_filters.shtml
  14. I highly dought theres a lift for a RX300 unless customer made. The RX300 isent a off road SUV its made more for Highway and some off terrain traveling. Plus Lifts are usually made when there a demand for one and the average driver of a RX300 isent going to take a RX300 to serious wheeling. But im rooting for ya Id love too see a lifted Rx300 on some 33" super swampers !!!
  15. I have 92 lex its seems its lost its Mojo, By Mojo I mean it dosent have as much power as it use too. I changed the oil enging and tranny on a regular basis. Im approaching 70k miles. Is it time for a a tune up ??? Owners manual dosent say anything but it feels like im driving a 4 banger now :cries:
  16. Depending if your looking to stay in the same vehicle 25k for a 03 rx300 is a pretty good deal Kbb prices them around 32K (depending on milage and condition)
  17. Honestly I think what it boils down to is how much you want to spend. I would suggest Michelins. Michelins are going to cover all your listed specs and be the best priced
  18. I have 02 rx300 I used premium for a while then changed to mid grade honestly I didnt see a difference in MPG or performance.
  19. Yes 17 inch wheels will fit I have 20 inch whells on mine the only thing your going to want to watch out for is the lug nut config. If im not mistaken the rx300 is : 16x7 - Offset 5x114.3 Bolt 12mmX1.5 Lug Nut Im not sure what year your Rx300 is this works for 98 to 2002
  20. Is this on a rx300 or rx330 I dont know much about the rx330 since in own a rx300 but you may want to do a search in the forums I think theres alot of topics on this but from my understanding since the A/C and some other controls are all connected to the screen a after marcket stero is a very hard self install. You may want to check out www.cardomain.com they have a bunch of customer stero installs
  21. I found this surfing the web it shows how to remove the stock steros out of a RX330 and sever other vehicles I've email them and waiting to see if thell post a removal guide for a rx300. FYI: NOT ALL THE GUIDES ARE FREE http://www.carstereohelp.com/stereoremovalLexusRX330Str.htm
  22. WHO DID YOUR SUB-WOOFER ENCLOSURE? IM LOOKING TO DO SOMTHING SIMILAR TO MINE
  23. Could you send me a copy sindog@comcast.net THX
  24. I like wood grain, I owned a Explorer EB edition with black leather steering wheel and after 3 or 4 years the leather would leave black on my hands was embarassing when I would shake people hands.
  25. The most obvious difference is the engine, 3.3 vs 3.0, I've not driven the 300, but I would wager that the 330 drives nicer. From what I've read here, they both have the acceleration hesitation problem/annoyance, but my impression is that it is more prevalent in the 300. Lastly, I recall people complaining about the 300's wide turning radius, that of the 330 is much improved. ← I would add that the body styles are little different Alot more curve from the front to back. I if im not mistaken the 330 looks a bit wider and longer too. The rear tail lights are higher up. The 330 is 5 speed auto 300 is a 4 speed. In my opinion I think you be happier in a 330. I currently own a 300 luv it but when the time is right im going to trade up to a 330 or 400
