I know from personal experience! HELL NO! Bought mine, stuck them on, realized they weren't black but burnt color and then turned blue/black/chrome/burnt. Stay Away!

i got those too and basically you need to DIY and paint them blk chrome on your own...also, the "lexus" emblem is the wrong size and so is the "430". So for those 2 pieces, i used my silver OEM ones instead. Anyhow, it is garbage and return them if you can...

Buying stuff for a nice car off Ebay is kind of dumb.

Me too - thankfully I just bought the 400

They are not even close to matching the real ones.
