Look for a used one. I bought couple month ago a nice 3 years old Yamaha 1100FX High output with only 45 hours for $5k (new $12k). Everything marine, I would buy used as boats depreciate very quickly and most used are in a great shape as people take care of boats.

So many fake stuff on craiglist but maybe I will get one in the future, since just got my car, big payment I will just rent one to go for now~

BTW, the trailer usually is separate product right?

The most frustrated part is my garage only has 2 parking space... don't want to park my car outside and leave a Jetski indoor

When buying new, you have to buy the trailer too. Most used are sold with the trailer. Trailer are cheap (starting $500).

So far we have pics of Black Onyx, Starfire, Tungsten, and Knight's Armor Pearl.

Are there any new owners of Claret Mica, Satin Cashmere, and Peridot Mica out there?

Would love to see more pics... maybe some with windows down to show exterior/interior combo.

Did you ever get your moldings? Someone else on here said no Lexus would do it, not even Sewell. . . .

antonio98

Seems that you're the only one to add the molding to the base model thus far.

Yes I did get the moldings they have been installed by my Lexus dealer and look great.
Worth the effort and big difference, the GX460 in my opinion needs the belt line to break things up visually not to mention the molding is functional.

It seems you and I got these just in time because no one can get them now.
I have a friend who also purchased a base GX460 in GA. and his dealer told him flat out no and that they heard about individuals requesting them and the party line going forward is they will only be supplied as a body repair replacement.
I requested mine from my dealer in the buy cylce and was included in my deal free of charge as a "we owe".
They dragged their feet probably thinking I would forget about it .
I called around on my own to find the part and then read your post about the Sewell deal.
The Parts guy I spoke to at Sewell Daryl I believe (could be mistaken been a while back) said they ordered/purchased as many sets of the molding sets as they could secure back in November 09 anticipating the need.

Did Sewell simply say no or they where out of stock?

How is the molding functional? Also, Sewell did it for me no problem and he also told me he'd send to others so that's why I was wondering why everyone else was having such problems. I think it makes all the difference in the world. I also asked Sewell if I could order the GX training wheels too. They got a kick out of that one.

How is the molding functional?

It prevents dings from most doors..., not all depending on height of vehicle.
It positively works in my home garage when my kids exit my wifes Accord the molding meets the door perfectly if she parks too close...functional.

If you look at the molding on an LS460 the molding is for the most part is window dressing (and it does look good!) it is placed too low on the bodyside to prevent dings.

I got those side modlings.

Seen them installed at my dealer. They charge $399. I got those for $129. Will take some pictures when those arive. For sure are not as nice as factory, but help break the line in very empty doors.

Sportwing also sales painted side moldings to match your truck. Here it is a picture they have sent me. Not feeling this one. Maybe it would look better painted and lower.

The chrome looks better then the black / painted hands down.
What did they tell you about getting factory Moldings?
