Default Color-matching fender strip only on F-Sport?

Wife and I are looking at 350H and we think the black plastic edging around the fenders is horrible looking. Cloudburst Gray or Caviar would hide it more but is that all we can do? The F-sport uses matching paint color but we don’t want that version. Are there any fender kits you can buy to swap that out?

Thanks

Remove the fender flares and bring them to a paint/body shop and get them paint matched.

You could check with your local Lexus dealer parts department. They should be able to tell you if you could just but the F sport wheel covering I doubt Lexus make different fenders for the black or F sport wheel coverings. Like Ryko (above) check with a paint shop to see what they can do. There is no reason they couldn't paint them, they'll just use the same paint that they paint bumper covers with.

I am with you on the black coverings, especially on a light color. My 2021 GMC Sierra had painted wheel coverings. Dealer told me I was the only one in that had ever ordered them, and that was on a black truck.

What color are you looking to buy? Lexus for whatever reason had a good part number for pre-painted wheel arch moldings in caviar. I replaced the moldings on mine.

So many car manufacturers these days are putting that matte black plastic trim around the wheel wells, and I hate it. It really looks cheap. This was one of the main reasons I went with the FSport.
