Sometimes it's the small things that makes a big impact right? They look amazing in person.

How much did the full replacement set run you? Looks like prices vary quite a lot

Both main rear handles were about $100 total shippped (very quickly) from Dubai. The end caps were $55 total with shipping from toyotapartsdeal.com. The shipping is what kills you. The fronts I haven't ordered yet. Been chasing both handles down but the stock seems to be spiratic. The front with the touch sensor will likely run $175-200+shipping each from what I can tell. The caps will run about the same as the rears.

This is what stock looks like without the moldings

Looking at that and other 460s then closely looking at mine I don't think I'll have holes. The farthest rearward hold is higher than what my trim goes. Looks like the factory trim is more a larger piece of cladding with the chrome trim added on. Take a look at mine close up.

I don't think you will have anything to worry about hole wise... just cleanup of the old adhesive

Comparison between stock and what you have

If they are indeed no-holes, a heat gun or hair drier would probably pop them right off.

This was my thoughts after closely examining the photos @r2m and yourself sent and my rig.

Indeed. Got the heat gun and may consider removal. Or I could use those to have a contrasting color when I raptor line the rig. I'm doing ODG so perhaps FDE would be a good contrasting color. Hmmmm...

You could also go with snap in sheet metal/panel plugs for the holes. Considering your rig is black, small black plastic plugs shouldn't be too noticeable. Considering they're cheap, if you don't like them, no harm, no foul.

Good option if needed. Thanks!

Oh and we may have found a house to buy in north Idaho. Woohoo!

 

[MrTorgue]

Front door handles and caps ordered. I like this partsouq from the UAE. I combined shipping ordering off of their website.

Had a chance to paint and finish your rigs name yet?

Not yet. I'm still both thinking of where to put it and locating the right color paint. My wife is excited to paint it. LOL

I bought that grille back when it was still an in-stock item. It's still sitting in my garage. Too bad you're in CA or I'd sell it to you for local pickup. It's too iffy to ship it.

It's an OEM F-sport grille.

My door handles are late!!!!

 

[MrTorgue]

All done. What a piece of cake it is to work on a Toyota/Lexus. I'm also VERY impressed with partsouq in Dubai.

the videos make it look pretty intensive to replace them how long did it take you per door?

The backs were about 20~25 minutes each going slow on purpose to not break anything. The fronts were ~15 minutes each. The difficult part was going slow and easy to remove the smart key sensor plug without breaking the tabs.

I lost one of my T30 torx bits on the driveway or nearby grass but thank goodnesss I'm ocd and keep lots of spares.

If you decide to get color matched handles and end caps check out partsouq.com and search for them if you can locate the part numbers specific to your paint code.
