Hey everybody. I just acquired a new to me black/black 2013 LX 570 with 120k miles.
Been doing some light updating and restoration to it and during the process discovered that the independent dealer put on aftermarket body side moldings on the on two of the four pieces that were meant for MY08-11 (double stick kind)
Now my restoration guy is having a hard time getting it back on since it needs the parts specific to MY13-15.
Looked up online for OEM parts and they are super expensive! Kinda shocked actually.
Does anybody else have any recommendations other than doing the chrome delete/removing all four pieces, and plugging them and painting over it? I guess if that’s my only alternative but that seems expensive too
He tried double sticky side tape, and it just started pulling away from the body so he may just glue them on…..Thanks everyone for your help ahead of time!
PS if you know anybody that had a recent accident that totaled their 13 to 15, I’ll be happy to buy those front two pieces if they are undamaged
