they may have had a few in stock then because if they dont then it does take a couple months for them to get.

From what Luis told me, they don't stock these, they order them from Japan as orders come in. He said the only hold-up is if they get stuck in customs. Total turnaround time he quoted was 2-4 weeks depending on customs. YMMV. $40 shipping from Japan to California and then Carson Toyota covers the ground shipping from California to your door.

Thanks guys, I'm getting alot of compliments on them as they are a rare sight on 3GS's here. Especially from female GS owners.

One brunette literally waved me down before I drove off the lot asking me if those were special option on my car. She had a nice white GS460 with Lexus Japan kit on.

I told her I would swap her aero kit for the sills, she said she would think about it and took my number!

Damnit... I'm married!!!!! Damnit damnit damnit!
