So I was a little hesitant about installing the OEM door protection panels but I didn’t want my car dinged up by other careless cars when they opened their doors. So I went for it and am super happy with them. I have never seen them installed on any other GX 550. I must be the first because when I bought them from the dealer, the instructions said to ask the dealer to get the instructions directly from Lexus/ Toyota because they won’t give them to the customer directly. When they called them “instructions weren’t available because there were none”. So I complained directly to Lexus customer service and after a month they created a set of instructions so I was the first to get them. It was a bit of a headache because they have to be placed in a very specific orientation on the door to look aesthetically correct. Also I had to wet sand the area where the panels were to be stuck on because I had already ceramic coated my car. But it was worth it because everyone who has seen the panels on the car think they look great!View attachment 4732View attachment 4733

I would love to do this to my over trail… Do you know the part number or name of the product?

I was thinking of adding these to my Earthly OT except I think they would look better in satin black similar to the wheel moldings - see attached image of Land Cruiser moldings. I do not believe that is a color combo available from Lexus. My options are therefor buy a painted set (new or used) and spray it black myself, get a set wrapped, or keep looking for possibly an aftermarket set. Your comments?
