The full chrome replacement one is an OEM part made by Toyota, not aftermarket.

 

The Grazio&Co ones are made by the company who makes body parts for Toyota. Would that be considered OEM or aftermarket?

 

I have metal chrome stick on and its very nice. It's taken alot of abuse and still looks great. And you can polish it with metal polish. Who cares if the OEM one is a "perfect replacement" you should see how the metal one mounts to the car. The metal goes flawlessly between the OEM GAP and makes it flush and beautiful. If everything was perfect from the OEM, then why would we spend money on parts for our cars??

 

Here you go. I bought one from this seller before from Japan. I also got the chrome door handles. You can request for a lower price too .

Very easy to install.

 

I have the OEM JDM Chrome bar myself. It is made of plastic, but fitment is OEM and looks great. I also once bought one of those metal stick on bars for my LS. Those were made out of metal and seem to be of good quality. I would say either one is fine as long as the fitment is good and the stick on metal ones fully cover the OEM bar so it doesn't look like a stick on.

 

i got the ebay metal one! mine appears to stick a tad bit out at the very curved edges at the ends. I got to either sand that down or use a small tack hammer to bang that is i mite just sand/file that down!!! other then that the fitment was great when test fitting it!!!

 

Dremel tool works great!

 

Carson = Quality I buy the real deal OEM $90.00 You drive a LEXUS





Ebay = Not the real thing ???? You want to drive a LEXUS

 

That is correct. I have the factory replacement and it's plastic as well.
