Well, thank goodness we all have different needs and wants, huh?????
I really was looking for the right word to describe the slab sides, and it was just mentioned by a previous poster. "UNFINISHED" is just what I was looking for. I just ordered a set of my very own "mature" side moldings, and can't wait for the subsequent improvement to the aesthetics of the car. Installed by Lexus, they will be approx $250.00
