Default Where can i buy this chrome trim!

Hey guys, im interested in buying the chrome trim (NOT the chrome door handle covers) that resides inbetween the driver door and backseat door, and also again in the divider of the back mini window. Anyone know where i can buy these, i can't seem to find them anywhere.

google "lexus gs350 b-pillar cover"


those things look nasty. the factory glossy black b-pillar allows the front and rear to have one continuous look when tinted.

Your arrows are pointing at the handles. Are you trying to be confusing on purpose?

Those pillar trim pieces I've seen cheap on eBay. I have no idea what the actual quality of them are becuase I've always thought they looked bad (as do the door handles for that matter).

i got the picture off of google images, it was an advertisement picture for the chrome door handles. Didn't mean to be confusing haha. I have a black GS, and i was thinking of doing the pillars and handles chrome so the chrome trim sticks out more (I think my car is too black- i have dark limo tint)

Chrome handles are okay. Pillars aren't. The pillars look good when they blend in with the windows. Chroming them would make them stand out and look tacky.
