I inquired about whether they were available to work with the carbon fiber thresholds - that come with the Performance Pkg. I never got an answer from my dealership, so I didn't pursue these. From what I could discern, they look like they come with trim to match one of the 3 interior colors (black, caramel, or blue). I decided, if they don't have a version that maintains some of the carbon trim, I might not like them.

They are shown in the PDF accessories brochure (https://www.lexus.com/documents/broc...rochure_LC.pdf). It doesn't explicitly indicate that these won't fit with the carbon sills, although it does seem pretty obvious that they won't - since the carbon sill doesn't have a non-illuminated metal sill insert to be replaced. I suspect the only way to install these with the carbon sills would be to remove the entire carbon piece and replace it with a stock black one... Which kinda defeats the purpose of getting the carbon sills. I inquired as to whether there is an illuminated sill with an integrated carbon housing, but my service manager never got a definitive answer. He just said he was told they would work. He offered to get me a set to see if they might work. I haven't pursued that yet, but I might give it a shot, since he offered no obligation to purchase if it isn't a carbon housed sill.
