They are glued on. I believe the plastic molding has sticky tape on it.

You're right.......they're stuck on with two-sided tape.

Love all the trees. Bet they are a real PITA on the car finish though.

LOL Kauis.

They come with the moulding package

Mouldings Rule, End of Story.

Fog lights are standard equipment on all ES350 - Kaius88, if you dont have fog lights on your bumper, you may wish to go see your dealer as they may have sold you a car w/o all of its equipment from factory

Your joking right?

This is OT, but I just tried Meguiars NXT Tech Wax on mine a month or so ago. It got the most votes, or close to that, in the wax thread over in the Detailing forum. After four washings and crappy winter weather, my car still shines like autigers.

Thanks for the tip. How was the application and removal?

I use a Porter Cable 7424 buffer for application. Use the red pads I got from Griots Garage. Remove by hand with a soft cotton cloth. It comes off very nicely, and easily, with no swirl marks.

It is the best off the shelf wax I have found so far.

We'll see how long it holds up. Our real winter weather is yet to arrive.
