Sit in the driver seat and stick your finger nails under the top sides of them and pull towards you diagonally.

What are you going to be doing under there?

Good to know..LOL. I enjoy my Starbucks every morning, and didn't know if you spilled some on the woodgrain. If hot coffee were to do that, I would be quite upset at the quality of products that Lexus uses.

good luck. chrome plating plastic is tough. you need to find a plating company who can "flash plate" AND who will do such a small job. most platers who have the tooling to plate plastic only want to work with big contract jobs, not dudes off the street with a handfull of parts.

ooh and Caswell plating kits suck, trust me .
