Dealer exchanged the wrong key gloves I had for the correct ones this a.m. Apparently the 2013 key has a different button pattern than the previous ES key.

yup. that's why we were all waiting for the new key glove. if they were just like last year's, we could've gotten them a long time ago off ebay. i like the way the F-sport looks...... very nice!

Ran thru the entire glove box. No Key gloves . Those mud guards look hideous.

Please post if you know where it can be bought.
This trim is available as a kit. It comes in matching factory wood color for the entire dash as well as windows, switches, steering wheel, etc. The web site is www.bitrim.com/ The cost is around $175.00. I plan to order the kit myself and give it a try.

There's still no Bamboo color matching for the 300h showing on their website. I've got no response from my email to B&I. I will try calling them next week to find out when and/or if Bamboo trim will become available.

Yeah, that's what I learned by checking out their website. Please share what you find out when you call! :-)

These are on Ebay now. $15.00 + free shipping. Don't know what Lexus gets for them. They look exactly the same. Same photo even.

does anyone have tinted windows?

(at night)
I've noticed the chrome metal strip on the drivers side creates a reflection that goes right though the drivers side mirror... its very distracting, and hard to see. -I need to do something about this... ideas?

Does anyone know of a kit to change the chrome strip to a different finish?

do those wood kits leave the chrome in place?

I contacted B & I trim this morning. He said that they're waiting on some approvals before they can sell the Bamboo trim and that it'll be about 2-3 months before the choice is available on their website. I pretty much got the same answer from the trim technician that installed my I ClearBra a week ago

I still have my F sport **** that I've been passing on from first my IS 350 and then to my F. I'll try it out this weekend to see if it will fit.

We found these in our glove box. I don't know if dealer or lexus are including them but surely they look good and protect the keys from scratches etc.

the dealer includes them. they have only been available for the past month or so and the new ES have been around for the past 6 months.

in fact, they only appeared on the Lexus accessories page in the past month.

I'm still trying to find the F-sport one at a local dealership. I could pay $15 on ebay, but paying 50% more for the same thing in exchange for a little patience is a tradeoff i'm weighing :P
