I had the mud flaps fitted and can say that there is a vast improvement on the lower doors, bumper and rear window ( i think beacuse the clearance between the wheel and the arch is bigger than most vehicles there is more spray ). I purchased the car with Supa guard on it as well and this does help keep the wheels clean of salt and road dirt as well as the bodywork

Just been quoted £181.55 for 4 mudflaps inc VAT and fitting. Any where I can get these done cheaper as I know there is some drilling involved putting the mud flaps on

Picked up my new RX400h two weeks ago and it has rained ever since, been thinking the car is jinksed as the showroom shine is well an truly lost !! What is everyones view on fitting mud flaps to the car. It is astral black so they will not stand out too much but I feel these are needed as i washed the car at the weekend and then went for a short 5 mile journey and the bottom of the doors were dirty again :tsktsk:

When I ordered my RX400h I had the choice of waiting until June and the new style ICE would be fitted or pick the car up sooner and have the old Alpine screens fitted. I decided on the old screens as one I wanted the car asap and the other that they looked better than the new ICE package. There is a slight drawback in that the new ICE can play different DVD's on each screen whereas the old system will only play the same DVD on both screens. There is a way round it that the screen behind the drivers seat takes a PS2 ( red,white and yellow connections are installed in the back seat pocket ) and you can then watch DVD's via the PS2 console rather than play a game. I have some photos on my Blackberry if someone can tell me how I can attach then to this thread. The system was fitted by the dealer ( Lexus, Woodford ) before I collected the car.

I purchased my RX400h SE with Sat Nav, Bluetooth, mark Levinson audio and reverse parking camera. If i wanted the new ICE I would have had to wait but I saw the old Alpine screens on another car and they fitted the two screens and player under drivers seat for £1640.00. The new ICE costs £2200.00 ( book price ). So i saved money as well as the screens look better. The car is now under a guise of a SE-L

I picked up my new 400RH on 04/04/08 with the Alpine screens and system in. My dealer said that if I wanted the new ICE screens I would have had to wait until June for delivery. IMHO i prefer the Alpine system with the screens fitting flush in the headrests. The new screens look like a cheap purchase from Argos !
