Re-did the door-sills; wrapped in leather this time (vinyl ... "pleather" ...).
I couldn't find a close enough color though :\
The one I thought was nearest was too olive; so I settled for this.
I don't think it looks bad.
It's certainly more luxurious than the plasti-dip version ...

Whatcha think?
I might be able to dye it.

Apart from that, I went spoilerless, and I'm starting to like it

Not feeling the door sills. They stick out like a sore thumb.

Yeah they do; lol.

I'll figure something else out eventually.

Plasti-Dip sucks from a can.
It doesn't lay flat, it's like porous; it drys with little holes in it.
I didn't like how it looked up close.

Nice effort on these. I'd be interested to see how they look wrapped in black if you ever decide to switch colours.

By the way, where did you source the alloy sports pedals?

I'm not crazy about the sills matching the interior -- they should blend with the body -- but I appreciate the creativity and effort. If you could figure out a way to make the Lexus lettering light up in neon like some high end AMGs, then you'd be getting somewhere!
