I found it by calling Lexus of Pembroke Pines in FL WEBSITE

They seem to be pretty AWSOME on the price as other Lexus dealers here in NY have it for twice as much. Also, I read a post from follow CL member who seem to have had good experience w/ them.

FYI here is the part number for the moldings for anyone who might need them.

Front 5271130200
Rear 5275130110

Or you can check your local autozone for the 3M chrome strip. It is maybe 1/10 smaller than the OEM which goes for around $8 for a roll if you wanted to save some money. I did my front and have extra for the back and maybe just enough for the side too.

Most people go the 3M route.
