Default Black Line Special Graphics

Hello everyone,

This is my first post. I don’t even have my car yet as it is supposed to arrive between 9/10 and 9/15/2021 and I am already planning my first mod!

My car will be the premium white RX350 F Sport. I want to add the Black Line Special graphics on the sides. I have always been a fan of special editions, graphics and stripes to make what I own different than the usual.

So my question is if anyone else has done this and perhaps sourced the graphic package from a discount Lexus parts seller online? I know I could probably get it from the dealer but I expect they would want a premium price and would also want a high price to install. I can install myself so that isn’t a big deal. Anyone here have the part number for them by chance?

Thanks in advance for any help or comments.

Edit: The part number is:$93.94 List is $108.15

PT747-48210-02

FYI: My dealer in Houston wanted to charge me over list price at $170.00!



Here is a picture of what the side graphic looks like.

I’m guessing most don’t like the side graphics on the Lexus. The Black Line Special didn’t appear to be available for 2022. When it was available on the 2021 model it included other stuff that set it apart from the S Sport. I also have a Ford F-150 Special Edition which also included stripes on the side. In all the Ford forums most people hated the stripe. I like the fact that of hundreds of thousands of F-150’s the SE is both different and rare which sets it apart. I actually get compliments when I stop for fuel so non owners do like the look.



Besides I believe the black graphics on the side of my new Lexus RX350 F Sport will make it go faster, handle better and get better gas mileage! 😂

Actually most Ford owners hate it so after a while Ford allowed the graphic to be deleted while keeping everything else that came with the SE package. As for the Lexus Black Line Special graphic it certainly is not for everyone. I gathered from the lack of response it was not popular. But, we all have our on ideas what looks good so we make them our on for ourselves and not others.

I like the graphic and will purchase and install myself. You might have seen many people with trucks put on huge tires that stick way out of he wheel well. I have never understood that. It seems that the wheels would kick up all kinds of debris and damage the body. Why do they like that? I have no clue but many do like it and it’s their truck.

I edited this post with the part number in case someone else here might like the graphics. Thank you for being civil and not insulting. Every forum has those that insult when nobody asked their opinion but just wanted information.

I do like the graphic, but would like it paired with a chrome delete. I would think the combination would look good on an atomic silver.

how about wheels at a 45 degree angle to the road. That I'll never understand.

Here are before and after pictures of my graphic install. It was a simple job applying each piece on the car they were clearly marked and had lines acting as a template to align on the body style line. I’m betting a Lexus dealer would charge $200.00 or more to install for you.

I agree, the F Sport would look better with black window and mirror trim as well as a black RX350 badge on the rear hatch door.

Looks like you've got it handled. Just remember a dealer isn't your only option. A lot of tint or PPF shops (or even body shops) also have guys that are pretty adept at installing things like this and won't rape you.

Looks great! The black trim is perfect on the white body. Your garage isn't half bad, either.

Looks awesome! It accentuates that lower portion with a sportier look.

Thank you for the compliment on my garage. I have a lift and a 1971 Boss 351 Mustang in there that I am the proud caretaker.
