GreatRX350

Hi, i'm thinking of installing a side body molding on my rx350 2011. My dealing is selling them for 366 + 13% tax + labour which made me think twice. so has anyone tried or purchased a body mold from "http://www.bodysidemoldings.com/Lexus-RX350-Body-Side-Molding-with-Chrome-Insert-p/cf-rx.htm" , if so can you share your experience with them. Would this be easy to install or should i let my dealer install them for me? any advice is greatly appreciated...

safe and happy drive to all

My dealer Sewell put it on free for me along with the mud guards,and glass breaker sensor. I negotiated and threw that in at the very end to seal the deal.
I will tell you it looks factory installed. The colors are the Lexus paint. My car has Matador Red. The way they put it on it compliments the large boring doors.
I understand you can do the install with the directions too. It sounds very easy to install. You may save money ordering it from Sewell.

Here is what I did. My dealer wanted $895 for the bodyside molding . I offered him $300 and they said no. I ordered the molding from Sewel lexus ( its here on the vendor list) I called a local Toyota dealer to put them on ,they said they dont do it but have someone do it so I called her and she was the same person that does it for my Lexus dealer. Total cost to me was $106 Body side Mldg from Sewel +$125 to install. Then she ordered the Wood grain dash kit matched to my interior wood which she installed and the wheel opening color matched moldings and teflon door edge guard. Lexus wanted almost $3000 for it all . My total cost was $632 for everything and installed. You can get lexus OEM moldgs and trim installed for 1/4 what the dealer wants . Id did it after tips from fellow members here . Good luck.
