Just install today on 12 RX350. Once again thanks to clublexus that I can get a huge discount from "Sewell Lexus"...

 

Lookin' good!

 

Nice pictures ... thanks for posting. I also have Starfire Pearl and I have been thinking about the side moldings for some time.

 

Looks good. Did you install them yourself?

 

Yup, not that long took me about an hour to finish both.

 

what is the landmark for installing body side moldings?

 

Sewell has the instructions on their website:

Looks great! I'm going to put them on mine. Did you have to drill holes for the mudflaps?

 

Sister and brother-in-law just bought a new Buick Enclave and the first thing they notice was my
side moldings and my black 2012 RX.

I told them they were added later and they wished their Enclave had some on.

 

You do not have to drill to put them on they screw on takes 10 min to put them all on.

 

Actually, you have to drill 2 holes on each side of the rear but very easy because it's already "MARK" here is the instruction from Sewell Lexus.

Sorry I did not have to drill the car to put them on. In addition, I know that the instructions have you to use a drill to install them. However, I just drove the screws right in with a screwdriver. The car has a very soft spot there were the screws go in so did not have to use a drill. Do a search here on it and find that others did not use a drill. In fact, it would have been a deal breaker for me to get them. I was not going to take a drill to a special ordered Rx 450h.

 

One point on applying the side moldings besides getting them straight,
is make sure the surface is clean and free of wax.

 

Well you did a great job with the installation. I installed them myself on our old RAV4 but chose to let the dealer do it on the RX.

 

I was going to let the dealer install mine at first, but they quoted me $150.00 to install, and nothing less...............................So I went to work
