Took me 5 years before I took the plastic off the scuff plates in my RX. The plastic was starting to peel so I had no choice bet to get finally take it off. I don't believe they left out this out for the GS. It's available in the IS..how can that be..

I was checking the GB Sewell Lexus is having until the end of January and while browsing the site looking for parts for the GS, I found this: http://www.lexus-parts.com/parts_det...d=187291&all=Y

Are they the new '08 GS Illuminated Door Sills ? Can they be installed on the '07 ? Did someone have these ?

Budd28, thanks and I'm looking forward to your post. I thought they came standard with the '08 350's but didn't realize it until after I bought the car.

Just asked my service advisor at Sewell, he said only cost aobut $60 for the labor to install the door sills...

Very tempting!!!

By the way they are running special at Sewell Lexus Online - 15% Off Accessories & Parts - Promo Code "BIG"‏

oh man that looks tempting...but it's so expensive! I'm surprised there is no aftermarket ones available. I had AMG ones on my E55, I love them. People always were impressed with them

LOL - I get the feeling that you already know the answer to this . . . (checking to see if your ride is in the Longo service bay)

09 RX350 comes standard with lighted scuff plates. I noticed that b/c it was a courtesy car loaner when I had my car in for service.

doubt it, it's part of the premium package, when I was invited for the RX preview events, the barebone model does not have it
