Time will tell, for my cares, anyway. Will my left arm get scalded instead of scratched on a warm sunny day? Will the lack of rubber let water run inside the door? I hope not.

@devo Honestly, I think it looks great. I put them on, I think, the week between Christmas and New Year, and haven't had to worry about it since. I've kind of admired it with my window down while driving it (odd Ohio winter we're having).... I'm very happy with it, but as you can see from the...

Here's what the old one driver door belt molding looked like. Hideous. The others weren't much better. And a couple shots of the new ones... Yeah, it's dirty. But better.

I just wanted to follow up on this, since I started the thread... I ended up putting these on my Amazon shared wish list, and someone got them for me for Christmas. They're only the 4 for the doors. They installed easily and look great! They're chrome, so they're not like the original, with the...

The belt molding on my LX450 looks like crap. It's cracked, jagged, and missing little pieces everywhere. The pricing for OEM replacements seems crazy. Has anyone tried these (or any other cheaper options) and been happy/unhappy with them...

Thanks for posting this! I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on the Corbeau Moab seats and brackets for my LX450. Both of my front seats' leather is garbage, and the foam on the driver seat is pretty bad, and both seats are stuck in "all the way back" position... which still seems not very...

Just looked up my order from December, and yes, 90080-43036

I ended up giving up on the "high end" red hose and bought 3 feet of regular 5/8 black heater hose. I lubed up with the same silicone paste I used to speed up my windows. They slid right on, and I was able to finish up fairly easily after that. Removing the heater selector thingy and the plastic...

I call "bull****" on the second video taking 15 minutes to bypass the rear heater. Maybe if you have the strength of a man and hands the size of a small child's, and 2 extra reversible elbows... This has been an absolute bear to get to anything back there. First of all, the hose clamps are...

I'll give a thumbs-up to putting 3M Silicone Paste on the window tracks. It helps a lot! I plan on putting it in the tracks for the rear sliding windows too, as they're pretty sticky... but damn, this Ohio February has made this a very very dirty truck!

That $670 also included the exhaust manifold, so yes, still pricey, but not quite as bad. Also, they got me that exhaust manifold in one day, which I couldn't have done. I was really wanting my LX back.

A little late, but wanted to add a pic of the ingredients..

Finally got it broke in...

Finally got it all together and back home Tuesday. Real happy with it! I did have to replace the back exhaust manifold. So, final costs: O'Reilly Magnaflow y pipe $430 O'Reilly Magnaflow cat $272 RockAuto Bosal muffler and tailpipe $300 toyotapartsdeal.com OEM gaskets and hangers $100 manifold...

I called Jegs again today. The rep told me there was no ship date from Borla, and she put me on hold and called them. She told me they said it MAY ship sometime in March. I promptly cancelled the order. Since this Borla stainless cat-back is apparently unavailable from anywhere right now, and...
