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

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,

Dave can you post a pic of your Ls600h locks? I'm not sure whay you say the Is doesn't have chrome anywhere in the door lock section cause the handles are chrome but the lock piece itself is black plastic.All I did was change the lock piece with the one from the Ls460 and that left me with the whole opening pull handle/lock unit from the Ls.Is it possible they are different in Japan? Also I am asking if anyone has ever done this OEM equipment mod not the thinkdesing lock mod-afterall the name of my thread is " Ls 460 locks on my Isf" not "Thinkdesign Locks On My F" I've seen others with these but you were def the first on the F, I'm strickly talking about Oem ls460 locks not aftermarket

You misunderstood me, when I am talking about the locks I am talking about ,as you said "lock piece itself", and as you also said those parts are all black without crome. Again , I hate to inform you that my locks are also OEM locks, ThinkDesign just removes the black part and replaces that with sivler carbon. Again all my sivler carbon parts are completely 100% OEM parts, all they have is a pretty finish applied to them, so again I am telling you there are other people who have done this mod and you are not the first to do this on an "F", actually I am not really bothered if I am the first or if I did it before you, all I want to do is set the facts straight. I can post LS locks if like?
