    Looking for a source off chrome lower body side mouldings similar to these ones ??

    2010 2011 2012 2013 Toyota Prius Factory Chrome Lower Body Side Molding Trim | eBay


    anyone here got them on there own prius ?? or advise a good mail order source off such, as I say would prefer chrome or stainless steel as opposed to plastic.

    Strange as here in the uk just cant seem to find these very things !! even the Toyota garages dont seem to have them, the nearest I found was these :

    Cheap Prius Chrome Side Sills Offers

    but unfortunatly they are not like the ones I am looking for !!

    just looking for a few links to where I amy obtain them, shipping from the usa to the uk is going to work out too expensive but if I can find a seller from china / HK etc then the shipping is normally way cheaper.

    so again anyone able to help me out ??

    Very helpfull!!! I wish I had read the referrence thread BEFORE I order the fake ones through Ebay. I bought them through another seller, chrome finish on plastic, and I had serious problems in order to make them fit correctly. To cut the long story short, the appearance is very good but I am worrying about water and dirt slipping in the hollow space behind the sills since there are some -almost not noticeable- gaps that I had to use heat gun and additional tape to fill them up. On top of that, there are no fitting instructions, no part numbers and the wrapping is only acceptable...

    Okay no problem glad the information was off some help, just wonder if the ones you bought were described as genuine Toyota as if so would certainly be claiming back under ebay for fake goods.

    to be honest thou from the pics you have shared again can only say they look really do look great infact its the best modded prius I have seen !!

    I very much doubt that.

    I'm in the UK too, Plymouth. Have got a fair few parts from USA, just watch out for duties and taxes. Maybe PM me about it.

    Super easy. Clean the paint, peel the tape, line up, and press down.

    Still having major problems sourcing the genuine versions off these mouldings here in the uk, unfortunatly shipping costs from the uk are just too expensive, if I can find a source from hong kong etc then will get them from there as shipping seems so much cheaper from that side off the world ??!!

    anyone any links for the genuine Toyota versions from this side off the world ??

    Never did get sorted out with these chrome hybrid side mouldings, tried Toyota themselves but unfortunately they don't sell ones like the ones available elsewhere in the world.
    have now seen a few prius`s wearing them in the uk and do think they look well smart so anyone with them fitted to there own car who could share a few pictures then that would be great and also advise where I may obtain them.
