Default New center caps for my wheels

I just got the new F Sport center caps today.
got them from my local dealer for $17.03 each ( Sewell was $23 including CL discount plus shipping).
Ill post some pics when I get them done tonight.
Seems odd that Lexus wouldn't have these on the wheels stock when you get an F Sport.

Yea they probably figured out that F Sport buyers would pay for them.
And no link. I live in Orlando and just called the parts department at Lexus of Orlando and ordered them. They were cheaper than Sewell so I didn't balk at the price.

Do you have a number or email I can reach them at?

Definitely interested and would probably repaint those to another color.
Although, my car is Nebula grey, probably see how they look first

Looks good, but I can't but prefer it in a shiny chrome to act as a centerpiece or focal point for eyes.

Did you just pop the old ones off and pop the new ones in? How do you install those things?

I don't know.....I think i prefer the plastic covered stock ones. It doesn't look bad i just think the caps look better with some contrast from the wheel itself. Maybe seeing a pic of the entire car with the new caps would change my mind?

Those caps look like the ones from the 19" F Sport forged rims. It looks nice, but since it's matte instead of smooth it looks off from the LFA inspired rims.

Sewell does have the black pearl L caps to match the black pearl badging, which I think look good too. The resin caps look cheap, but I don't want any mismatches on my car.

Sewell charges 60 bucks a pop for the black pearl caps and they don't even have a protective covering like the stock ones do!

It's so they match the black pearl logo which doesn't have the resin cover. The resin cover looks tacky but it protects the logo, no best of both worlds here.
