could i pay the lexus dealership to do this for me?

Or is it really easy that someone like me who has never messed around with his own car before can do it? I always wanted to have those metal bar things to make my car look newer.

If u want them to charge you 100 bucks to install, by all means.
If you want to do an easy 5 minute mod in your garage, even with no experience, you'd pocket 100 dollars and be even happier that you've done this yourself.

yeah. i can't see how you can mess this up with the DIY instructions here.

plus, the seat is a non-critical component. so even if you do mess it up, it's ok

I was super easy. The hardest part was getting to the screws under the carpet. you just have to feel your way around unless you want to disconnect the light. Getting them back on was a pain.

But if I can do it, you can do it.

the seats look a little bland without the trim pieces. i think they're a nice touch. to each his own i suppose.

i do appreciate the input tho
