How long did it take to get your handles from the day you bought it?
I have not seen mine. I guess it comes from HK.
Thanks.

You have good connections in Japan, eh? Nice!
I once asked a Japanese friend to get me a set of Acura JDM tails. Awesome. Back then none of them were available via ebay. So it was nice to get a hold of a set of JDM tails. It was unique! Sets you apart.

However at times it's still hard to find parts. for my old car I had more OEM JDM stuff on it than about I might say 100% of the guys I knew in the scene. VIP style stuff maybe 90% were lacking. Not that everyone cared However with the Lexus scene it's kind of new to me so I am still in discovery mode. I am also not interested in doing a full JDM style convert. Lexus is much more prestigious that Harrier to me.

I did and I will take a look around the shop for it. I know it was a genuine Toyota box and materials but don't remember seeing a part number labeled on it. I know it was on the handles.

I ordered a set of those 20 dollar ebay chrome door handles.. had them on the car for two weeks and then ripped them off. They're really rough around the edges and you can really feel it when you grab the door handle, some of my mates even asked me what's going on with your door handles. They just felt really cheap... just thought i'd share that in case you're looking at the $20 jobs. No doubt the OEM stuff is tonnes better but it's also pretty expensive as it's a replacement handle rather than a cover.

Got them today and installed them, you are right, I have 1 which was rough in the edges. The 3 were ok. They were not the exact same shape but after it was taped on, it stayed.
Overall, for the cosmetic upgrade, I will keep it. Once I get fed up, will just peel it off.
Or when it start peeling off, that's the time to yank it.
I will get my $20 worth of cheap thrill.
I will post pics.
