  1. Just thought I would offer words from experience for those considering the clear bra...we had it dealer installed in the summer of 05 on the wht 06 RX400h. They charged $600 for just the hood cover! It's been GREAT as the rest of the bumper shows pronounced rock damage and the bra has not faded or peeled in any way. Eventually you will see dirt slightly build at the edges. However, when I got my 07 GS450h, I was STILL scepticle (high price), so I didn't get it immediately. Well, after 3 long roadtrips w/i 2 mos, the chips started to mount. I again called the dealer and they wanted $900 for just the hood and bumper kit. I happen to shop around and called the same guy the dealer was to have install it. Well, he came to the house and for $200 less, he added in the mirrors and head/foglights! Long story short...I'm a fan! If you plan to keep the car/truck for a while, it's a WORTHY investment! I bet it won't hurt the resale value should you sell it either.
  2. I read the forums often, but rarely write (I'm triflin) :), but this post I just had to respond to because I was just thinking about the C.A.F! BIG THANKS to you guys for this post!
  3. I made a MP3 CD (not DVD won't work) and got it to work in my 07 GS 450h with no name 700mb cds through Windows MP. Not exactly sure, but I didn't do anything special. I will tell you that if the song doesn't play through MS WMP it won't play it the car. Hope you get it to work as its awesome to have several CDs on one disk!
  4. Those are $181 ea (plus tax) at CostCo with lifetime rotaion and road hazard here in So Cal. I was told there is no milage warrentee for these type of tires, but the Michelin should go for 50K with the 440 tread wear number. I have had significant tire cupping with Goodyears on my 20,000 mile 400h. Rotated every 5000 miles. The Goodyear dealer blamed the wheel alignment (top of tires tipped in to improve handling). The dealer is checking alignment and is doubtful. Otherwise tire wear is good, but these were never quiet tires! Anyone have similar problems on the RX400h? Me too! My 400h (at 24000 miles) has serious wear (almost down to the belts) and tire cupping on the insides of all four Goodyears. The damage occured within the last 4000 miles since Lexus inspected and certified that the car pass the New York State Inspection at 20000. Glad to see that others also think there is an issue with the suspension -- bad struts -- causing the allignment problem and perhaps affecting the premature wear on the Goodyears. I am awaiting a response from Lexus on how they will deal with the problem. I would suggest having the dealer share replacement cost at the very least! I had to take our 400h for replacement (Goodyear) tires after just 10mos and 12k miles as they were wearing on the inside. The svs manager spit cost with us and said that although tires don't last (long) on the RX, ours was abnormal. The second set is doing just fairly better, not wearing on the inside unevenly, but at 30k miles the dealer said we had about 5-7k left! WOW!
  5. Superstition Lexus Parts on Ebay has them for $28. Good Luck!
