Thanks for the pics, everyone! Do any of you guys have any before and after pics (for comparison side by side)? And how about the replacement rear sills (unlit) vs the originals?

Just buy them and stop torturing yourself. You will like them. The rear improvement is fantastic and the fronts add the excitement of being lighted. I paid approximately $230. Not a second thought about doing it

Actually, I have - I added them to my car build last minute and am looking forward to them! Still would've liked to see before/after pics vs the original set, but I guess I'll simply have them in my car soon enough...

Functionally they don't do a thing, but I have them and I think they're awesome. They add a nice touch. Totally worth it to me.

Not exactly the same angle, but that gives you an idea on the rears.



The fronts look the same. If you get an F-Sport, the "LEXUS" is already on the front sills but not illuminated. Any other trim will still have stainless front sills but with no lettering on them.

THANK YOU, tkr128!! Those DO look great, even if not illuminated - really glad I added them to my build now, even more excited for my car to arrive now...

Waddaya mean they don't functionally do a thing? They show me the light (while making sure I know how to spell L-E-X-U-S)!! Mmm, shiny - good (drooling like Homer Simpson)...
