So I'm thinking if that happen to my black RX, you wouldn't see it, right?

No, I don't play soccer!

Just to add to above: when you create your account, make sure you put in your ClubLexus user ID or whatever they need ... it has been a while since I setup my Sewells account or I could be more specific.

Sewell's price is $96 plus shipping which was $12 for me.
Install directions suggest plus 60 degrees. I thought I'd have to wait 'til spring since I live in MA, but last week we had a plus 50 and sunny day, so I put my stargazer black car outside to soak up the sun and got the moldings on. So far, so good.

After spending thousands on the RX what is another $100 and change to protect it - they definitely protect the doors - it only takes 1 door slam and you end up with a door dent which I know first hand can be repaired paintlessly (assuming no paint damage) at the tune of a $100.00. To me this is a no brainer and I have new RX on order and it will definitely have the moulding installed before I take possession.

To install side moldings or not? Need opinions
Hey Everyone,
Just bought a 2010 Lexus RX 350. I am debating whether to install body side mouldings. I have not been able to find a good pic of the side moldings on the obsidian "black" car. What are your opinions on these?

It's going to come down to what you prefer. There is no right or wrong answer. There are lots of opinions here as to the value of the mouldings themselves and the height they are installed at, as well as the esthetics which you are asking about.
In my case -- I have an almost 10-month old Nebula Grey RX450h and a set of brand new color-matched side mouldings still in the box from Sewell sitting in my garage. For some reason, I don't like the pointy ends of the Gen3 moulding -- it looks too feminine or something for my taste. I would have put them on my truck the day it arrived home if the ends had been more squared-off as they were on the Gen2. As it stands, they'll probably go on after my first door ding. Until then, I'm in love with the clean look of having naked door panels.
Good luck with your decision!
