Door Sill Plates - Illuminated door sill plates for the front door sills on the 2008. The rear get the same raised brush stainless steel border.

Although it is a no-brainer for me since I want the 460, there are bits of the front end I like better with the 3.1. Can you swap a 3.1 front bumper cover onto a 3.2?
Also, that 3.1 interior trim is what the 3.2 should have.

Why did Toyota still use the ugly green backlighting for buttons in 2008? I would have to change all of them to white.

My 08 does Gs350 does NOT come with illuminated sills! Can someone confirm if this only came in 460s?

My 460 came with that option. I believe it was available from 08+ as an option.

My 2008 Gs350 came with illuminated door sills. Much like the rear sunshade, it was an option.

Were the illuminated door sills on 08 up std? My 08 they aren't. My wife's 04 RX is illuminated.

My gear shift position indicator also not illuminated.

Thanks!

the sills on my '10 gs460 are not illuminated, but our 05 RX has the illuminated sills. I think it was just always optional.

This was very awesome and time consuming, interesting to see the evolution, and look at this from an 04 thread on the 06 gs


what the heck is that below (behind) the shifter anyways ?? well never know

I keep reading articles online aside from the Lexus forum and was to believe that the 07 is the only other year I would be able to do a parts swap with that would be plug and play.any help or knowledge would be appreciated

Is there actually any way to do that without messing with the head unit itself? (yes I still have a phone with a headphone jack)
