Got some door sills off a 2004 (I think) Lexus GS300 on eBay.
They were a lot shorter than ours, so I simply pulled out the metal trim piece with the logo ('cus that's all I wanted anyway), and cut the OEM door sill, in order to make it fit into place. I started this project yesterday and finished this afternoon. I matched (almost) the color to the tan interior, rather than the OEM black, because I wanted it to appear as though it's an extension of the interior; like it's "inviting you in" essentially. I thought it was more welcoming, and would contrast nicely with the black base. So I bought some Plasti-Dip: Camo online as well. This was the result
**note; dont dip your headlights!!! Mine got ruined by the dip, made white pits all over them. The lexus plastic from our era has issues with it for some reason.

What?
What part of the headlight did you dip, hopefully not the lens. The chrome on the inside takes well to paint if you prep it right.
Thanks; glad everyone like it.
It's about time I actually contributed something substantial to this forum.
Sucks being poor, or I would do more mods more-often, but ... Glad I could bring sumtin' helpful.
