Default Chrome door handles on 2011?

I was at the lexus dealership and saw a 2011 RX Black with chrome door handles. Was that an option on this year or was it something the original buyer probably added after market? It looked pretty good w/ the black contrast w/o looking tacky.

Chrome handles are not standard. It's definitely aftermarket.

You can find them on the internet at ebay or auto accessory stores. There are many more chrome pieces available also ... just be careful not to overdo it. FYI ... they are not real chrome, but just chrome looking plastic. They typically cost between $15 and $90 for a set of four. They can be easily removed, if you decide you do not like them.

I put sets of them on both my 2004 RX's, think they were $27.00 a set, looked great and installation took just 15 minutes. Found them on eBay with a buy it now price, quick shipping.

I think it looks good on the black or dark exteriors. On my silver RX I'm not sure if it would look that great.

I agree. Look at the last gen ES350. I don't like them on the silver or white. Black and Red look good.

I have them on my RX350. They are by a company called SES. They cost about $90. Check out my build thread for more pics. (Link is in my signature) I bought them from Autoanything. They price matched fyi. I love mine. I think they should have come standard.
