The part is of very nice quality.
This installer goes to north Jersey dealerships doing moldings,dings,touch ups,scratch repair,headlight lens restoration,windshield repair etc.on dealer used cars.He's had the company since '79 and is very busy.
I didn't want to wait any longer so he called me and I met him at a local Toyota dealer where he did the install in less than a half hour.Maybe 20 minutes and they're perfectly installed.
The side moldings were shipped to him on a long heavy cardboard box cylinder and wrapped in a burlap type cloth.Very nice quality packing.
Also included were the directions and adhesive promoter.
Not hard to do yourself.All you need is a ruler,non permanent marker and painters tape.

I posted info on the moldings and never mentioned what I paid.
I wound up paying $450 after getting the invoice price of the RX but I could have bought the moldings online and installed myself for around $150 and an easy install too.
Just have to make sure you stick the moldings on right the first time.

Ordered the moldings for the Matador Red 450h a couple days ago. Joe's looked pretty good to me. Don't know if I'll like them or not, but will soon find out. Even if it saves one hard hit ....it's worth it to me. I hate it when somebody (usually the passenger) hits any car while entering or exiting another vehicle. I'll post the results on this thread once it's done. Still considering the clear bra....

I ordered the painted (red matador). Hope I didn't screw up. Yours appear to be the same color as your RX and liked them so that is why I went with the painted.
I see you ordered the mudflaps. I'll be anxious to see how they look. I sent a note to them to see what the costs are + shipping as well as how long to receive them once they have the order. I had them on my 4Runner and thought it helped the looks as well as protecting from flying rocks and mud.

Thanks Joeb, I didn't like the idea of a chrome insert. Glad I didn't screw up..lol
If I hear back from them before then, I may go ahead and order them too (Mudflaps). Appears to be a basic installation.

I don't know anything about this place, but found them the other day and from what I read about them they shouldn't be too bad. They sounded like the same material that Joeb used for his RX, so figuring it's probably made by the same company. They also have the color charts to click on for your vehicle. $163.51 includes shipping.

Actually, I just found an eBay vendor (highly rated) which sells the Dawn Enterprises side molding for ~ $130 shipped, and already placed my order...

Sleepy, that works. Good job on that. I found one place for $79, but didn't have the color you and I needed. I didn't call or email them just looked at their colors available. (Spoiler-something) oh well.
Nice color on you RX (-: Mines older than yours...lol I got mine on the 26th and I guess you got yours on the 28th. good choice.
