So I also have the Westcott rack. I left off the 2nd crossbar so the moonroof is almost completely unobstructed. It’s still very solid . And as previously stated, no almost no wind noise. Just curious what is your gas mileage with the roof rack?
Got full front including entire hood ,front painted parts, fenders and mirrors with kavaca from Ceramic pro (12 yr warranty). Then got whole car ceramic pro coating including all windows and rims with lifetime warranty. $1800. ( I have to take it in yearly and for about $300 they will...
Sorry but I see 1 big problem. You have the Lexus roof rack. I drove one with the rack and makes terrible noise at highway speeds. Lots of people taking them off and you can’t sell them!
Super happy with my OT+. I road tested all 3 models. Worse ride was the lux with the 22 rims. Ride of the premium was similar to the OT. Ride of the OT + was a little stiffer on crappy city streets but both were super smooth on the highway. I love this car and my Porsche 911 just sits in...
I did a little extra too. I had the panels PPF’d so if someone bangs it with a door the paint on the panel won’t chip either. Gotta keep the beautiful GX looking good!
That’s why I needed instructions. Directions are very specific in mm. And you will notice that the door is not square so it has to be done at a certain angle. I aligned them with strong nonpermanent double stick tape and made small adjustments visually and outlined them with duct tape. Removed...
So I was a little hesitant about installing the OEM door protection panels but I didn’t want my car dinged up by other careless cars when they opened their doors. So I went for it and am super happy with them. I have never seen them installed on any other GX 550. I must be the first because...
I had my whole front wrapped with ppf including those plastic black pieces below the windshield! Also whole car ceramic coating including the rims. I washed it with a car soap and sprayed it with a power washer and have no problems so far
Westcott. It’s perfect-low profile, almost no wind noise and very solidly made. It’s only a little higher than the OEM rails so no problem with clearance. $100 off if you are military or first responder.
Good luck! Bad move by Lexus. Nobody wants it but if noise is the main problem guys have been wrapping the front end with paracord to reduce the noise. I didn’t try it because I wanted a full rack and I didn’t like the look of the OEM
There is a gap but mine is small. You can adjust the rack to bring it down closer to the roof to close the gap with the 2 screws on each side. The small gap doesn’t bother me but I guess it’s a personal preference!
I looked at my OT + and it looks exactly as your premium + with 3rd row down. I think that the OT allweather mat will cover your cargo area to the back of the 2nd row. All the 550 bodies are identical.
