List price is approx $250 (+ 8-10 week wait time from Japan )

But, contact Mark at Prestigious Society, as he may have a set in stock already (I think he had ordered a few sets with his last shipment, so no wait time)

BTW, Mark is an approved CL Vendor. His screen name is "PS VIP"

Yep...that's the one.

Also, for those that are interested, please note that these are NOT full overlays.

Looks much better than I would have expected!

Accouncements of mods on this forum crack me up - they're like the Oscars. "I'd like to thank my wife, without whom these mods would have never been possible..."

I typically don't do the "shout-outs", but my evil twin (aka joseph) gave me a TON of help convincing me to buy them.

The LX-Mode chrome door handles can definitely be ordered in from Japan at any time guys. If you dont want to go the 8-10 week wait route, they are always available to be air shipped for you.

Feel free to Pm me if you guys have any questions.

I will definitely give credit where due. Luis is a GREAT vendor that I have bought from before and would buy from again. to Carson. But, Prestigious already having them (more or less) in stock made a big difference for me.
