I believe that this is the thread to which B0b is referring.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/es-...018-es350.html

Not only is the car in that thread a new car, but it is also a Luxury package ES. The car that the OP poster here is looking at is a used ES that only has the Premium package, and the price is similar to the price of a new Luxury package ES in the thread to which I linked.

So, I agree with Bob. You should be able to do much better.

Agreed, now be sure to get the factory side moldings to protect the doors from dings and to give the sides of the car a little better definition. They are factory colored and easy to install.

Not too difficult. I did mine 5 years ago. Precise measurements are critical along with an assistant (my wife) who you can criticize if something goes wrong... Once they're on they don't come off... There are videos online.

Actually turned out perfect though...

Where do you get the molding? Dealership? Cost? Will they install?
