dominor5 - did you ever install the 18" wheels and the 255/55-18 tires? If so, what problems did you encounter? What offset did the wheels have?

Yes, I did; no problems, no spacers, just a direct install. It did come with a mounting kit which included 4 rings you install on the wheels to center it on the mounting hub. All four were also ride match/road force balanced. The offset is +20. Unless you find a local retailer, I have a feeling you're gonna killed with shipping and handling.

dominor5 - Thanks! As you probably know, there is not a lot of info out there regarding fitment of +1 and +2 wheel/tire setups for Highlanders, so any real world feedback that I can get is invaluable.

De-badged Highlander by joecool_tx

Has anyone attempted to "debadge" or remove all make and model information from the body of their Highlander?? I am concerned that some of the badges are attached by a method other than glue or two-sided tape!!

Grilles and suchlike by lgjava

I really think you can't go wrong with the Highlander's interior--it's really beautiful--the Volvo C80's not even close (IMO), but the exterior bumpers are easily crumpled. I was driving around Boston during the last blizzard, and I noticed a lot of Highlanders with damage to front and rear bumpers (and a lot of NEW Highlanders--Woo Hoo!)
So I was wondering if the grille--something I'd thought rather worthless actually--might be a good idea. I was thinking it might be protection in food stores, that is from the shopping carts, and too from rather elderly drivers (like my 83 yr old Dad--not to say in any way that all 83 drivers are like my Dad--I hope.) So anyway, anyone with a grille, has it helped at all? And then too, maybe it might defeat the purpose of the crumple-bumpers --in an accident. Any feedback of your grille experience is helpful because I'm thinking of adding one, along with aluminum tube steps--when they become available, and a trailer hitch. And if I can get my digital camera back from my sister (who won't part with anything) maybe I can post some pics and show you how it all came out (and whether or not I know how to bolt things together!)

6 disc? by jbollt

I have a '03 Highlander V6 (base model) with the standard factory in dash radio/cassette and single CD player. Do any of you know if i can install the 6 cd in-dash unit directly in it's place? Are the plugs the same, etc? I have found a used factory one for about $250, but it seems like it might need a seperate amp? (maybe this is the JBLunit that comes in the Linited models?) Thanks for any of your thoughts and ideas.

Want to hardwire radar detector by sams_6

Want to hardwire my radar detector into new HL. In my previous vehicles I simply mounted the unit high on the windshield near the rearview mirror and tucked the wire under the head liner and inside the windshield pillar cover.
  
My new HL however has side curtain airbags mounted into the windshield pillars and I don't want to mess around with them. Anybody suggest a good (and simple) route to get a wire up into the roof liner and out near the rearview mirror?
