here are the pics. I think they add a really nice touch to the car and they are protection too. I got it done at the dealership upon purchase, didn't want the car leaving the dealership without them lol. they gave me a good deal since it was Christmas time, got tints mouldings and edge guards for cost. not the bloated normal dealership prices. to bad remote start wasn't available yet

You could get them at Sewell Lexus for about $110 shipped! I have installed these on the wife's RX350. They looked really nice and much added protection.

Thanks Shivad, they look great. Picked up this car for the Wife and I'm super paranoid about so much of the door being exposed.

Phoeonix, I'll check out Sewell, Lexus of North Miami wants $200 for the moldings and get this..... $289 for installation.

Hey I feel your pain. I made sure they didn't leave the dealership without them because I park in a lot a majority of the time. And frankly people are just extremely careless. I've seen some interesting things occur in parking lots lol

Be sure to register as CL member to get the discount. That is crazy how much they are charging for installation (my local dealer wanted to charge us $200 to install mudguards on the RX350; I did it in 20 minutes with just a screw driver and 10mm socket wrench;-)
It took me less than 45 minutes to install the side molding. Sewell Lexus has very detailed instructions on their website.

Why not just order from Sewell for $20 less shipped?

How long do you think shipping will be to Miami? 3-4 Days?

Yes, they use Fedex so I would say 3-5 days across the country. Pick up some other parts for maintenance and save on shipping charges.
