I want to replace all of the chrome molding that goes around both bumpers and the side of my 2001 LS430. I'm talking bout the trim that's about halfway down the doors. I found the front and rear here , but cannot find the side molding. I do not see it on Sewells website either. Suggestions ? I need it kinda qwik. And is the stuff in the link any good ? As good as OEM quality ?

I'm sure generic molding is not nearly the quality or exact size/style as the Lexus OEM moldings. I would call Sewell and talk to them about the side moldings if I were you.

I've tried looking for it and couldn't find it either. If it's the same size as the bumper trim they sell a generic trim at Pep Boys that is almost a perfect fit.
If your trim is hazy or peeling you can polish it with a terry cloth and Mothers Chrome Polish found at Walmart and Autozone. I used it on my trim and it looks brand new now.

Looks like I might have found a solution. I am gonna go ahead and plasti dip the molding as well as my front grill and all my emblems. This is a cheaper alternative to getting a new grill, new black pearl emblems and new molding. I will post pics when it's all done
