i had mine done about 2yrs ago. the newer pillars are 10x better and do not get in the way.

My driver's side pillar is jacked but when I got the car it was out of basic warranty and the previous owner seemed oblivious. The pillars cost a fortune, though, over $200. I hate the cost of parts for this car.

yea i ripped my old one with my jeans by accident. button caught the pillar and drug across it. how far out of warranty are you? you might be able to get them to do it if you have a good relation with the dealer. even though the dealer does it for free, they still get paid for the job so it cant hurt to try.

When I can establish a good relationship with a Lexus dealership around here I'll let you know. :|

yeah i found the total to be $400 to replace on pillar at my dealership so look for another way and found it.

BinaryJay

What was your other way?

The other way was hoping someone on the site had the pdf TSIB for the GS B-Pillar to show my dealership, cause everytime I searched it popped up with the LS B-Pillar.

By chance does anyone have a pick of what the new part looks like.

i haven't replaced the b pillar because the shape doesn't match the door's arm rest.
that's my only gripe.

fortunately, my seat blocks the bpillar, so the belt buckle doesn't bang and scratch the pillar.

BinaryJay

When you get yours replaced, ask if you can keep the old ones... cause, I could use them. They can't be in worse shape than mine!

sure I'll take a pic cause the person before me had some major issues, but yeah if you want them you can take them!

BinaryJay

Fantastic, let me know!

(One on my passenger side has a clip that is broken or something, it keeps popping out of place no matter how many times I've tried to reseat it. One on the driver's side is just mangled and where the gouges are in it the plastic is all discolored and looks like a horses ****.)
