Great work, small mods like this are awesome.
If you don't mind, how much did the parts cost?

I agree.. they look very nice..

If you take note to Dave pics, you can see a small slit on the top side of the door cups..

On the GS any maybe other models too, there is an LED that lights up the door cups..

As Joe said , these are actually LS locks with carbon in place of the black piece and as you can see by the close up IS locks don't have chrome on them anywhere, I bought the whole unit instead of just replacing the lock part, so sorry to say I beat you to it!

And there are about 2 who have done it before me too.

Another shot of the locks,
