    The link that was posted has them for $99USD and they ship to the UK. BUT the shipping is $44USD to the UK. That seems high, but I've never had anything shipped to the UK.

    yes okay thanks with you now. yes the shipping is kinda high but then again anything posted from that side off the world always is for some reason??!! the import, handling charges etc that can also be added by customs can add up to a good deal off cash alone.

    find it strange that these only seem to available in the usa, Toyota uk have not record off these particular mouldings so cant buy from Toyota garage over here either !

    anyone else with any suggestions / link please do share !!

    Kinda tempted to go for these ebay $99 ones as there appears no alternative but just a bit worried how they fit / look compared to the genuine Toyota ones ?

    I have experience with both and the OEM quality is night and day different.

    EDIT: I actually wrote that article re: fake vs. genuine LDMs, lol

    The $99.00 listing is obviously the same seller I called out in my article. Surprised he finally noted the item as "aftermarket" instead of selling them as "genuine OEM Toyota factory". I'm pretty sure I've seen installation instructions from the UK for lower door moldings; the only difference is the USA version has the "Hybrid" badge on the rear door pieces while the overseas version doesn't.

    EDIT: Nevermind, UK has side sills instead, part # PZ415-G0491-ZB
