Smile Two quick questions

I have not found the answers after a search:

1-I am going to paint the B-pillars. What material are they made of, ie metal, plastic?

2-On the 97+ models, do the badges still have holes under them or are they simply stick ons.

Thanks

1. They are plastic. Do it in plasti-dip (I just did mine yesterday)
2. I believe the "Lexus" has holes but the "SC" and "x00" don't. At least on mine that's how it is and mine is a 97.

The B-Pillars and the window trimming are not plastic nor chrome. Those are stainless steel people. That's one of the reason the paint is chipping off.

Ah, thanks. So, when I go to prep and paint, I will select materials designed for SS.

Thanks again.

Looks like I can debage the SC300 on the trunk, which is what I was looking to do anyway.

Good stuff.

Thanks guys.
