I have an 09 IS350. They changed the beige interior color to ecru from cashmere. I think the newer version is lighter. Anyone installed this in an 09 Ecru who can comment on how well it matches, whether it looks odd, etc? Pictures? Thanks.

FYI, for those who are interested, you specify 2009 model year in the comments and they order Ecru.

...and this still remains to be our number one email question "how difficult is it to install the illuminated sill plates on my car?". I thought installing the sill plates were easier that changing a tail light bulb. Now that's easy.

When we post the new CF F-Sport shift **** up on Monday, maybe we'll need to post some install instructions for that as well!? J/K

Do you just pull/rip the hell out of the old ones to get them out?

Mine seem to be on there pretty good.

Each sill plate is held in place by 4 clips. Each of these clips simply pop into place, thus you'll need to pop them out (of place).

...if you still can't get them off, try removing your foot off the sill plate before you pull up on it

Without having the details to where you are, the $80 doesn't sound right considering the sill plates ship in a 36 x 6 x 6 box and is just a few pounds. You're welcome to PM us or email us directly to determine how or why an overnight order one state away is what you're claiming.

^ its due to the odd size of the box...not how close or far you are. Pretty much everyone will consider the box an odd size (UPS/FedEx/DHL/USPS). Just spend the $$

Once you install them it will be worth it

Sorry that is not an odd shaped box. A golf club which should be even longer is much cheaper. I could get them overnighted from nigel in CA for 20 bucks but he only has black. 80 bucks is way to much. Probably an error so let sewell figure it out and let me know but thanks for your input...i guess.

Thank you very much for the info! Seems like I should just get it ground since its super cheap and I think it will only take (2) days to get to me anyway.

I appreciate you looking it up also. Sorry if my last post seemed rude it was not meant to be
