I would suggest getting a pair of the Lexus OEM body kit skirts. The reason is, that the OEM body kit parts come painted.

The standard OEM one is probably un painted. Going to the body shop for paint and repair is a hassle and normally very expensive. Plus the paint match.... etc

http://lexus-parts.com/partlist.asp?...07&ModelID=151

you get 10% off for using code CL911M
The cost is $385/pair.

I think the skirt come painted.

Labor...I have no idea. But, i think you can do it yourself with the instruction that come with the part.

Sorry to hear your story. I would hit my gas pedal and make sure that old lady stop and pay my damage.

That is wrong, you are looking at the door molding. Its a strip that supposidly protects you from door dings. The skide skirts are $385/pair for the body kit ones, and come painted.

MAKE SURE YOU BUY THE RIGHT COLOR

Sorry posted the wrong one! But they dont have the OEM stock side skirts. Only the GFX side skirts which are wider and probably more expensive.

The factory rocker molding comes painted and is $490.22. Easy install. Contact your local Lexus dealer.

Because they're OEM parts. OEM parts are always expensive... x2 for Lexus.

The factory rocker panel does NOT come painted and carries a MSRP of $293.76. Part no. 75852-53901 for the left and 75851-53901 for the right.

Jeeeeeez, where do you people get this crap from?

You may not realize it but you are on the 2IS forum, not the GS forum.

I do realize that this is the 2IS forum. You do not even know what Lexus vehicles I have! Obviously you have no idea who I am or my backround, and that is fine. I thought that this forum was more for the exchange of imformation that can be usefull for fellow Lexus owners, not immature comments to others that are trying to help.

The rocker panels are available PAINTED or PAINT TO MATCH. You were only half correct on your post. If you order the rocker panels #7585253010-BO for the right or #758153010-BO for the left, they are available PAINTED. These numbers are for color code 1G0.
