Thank you to all of you who referred me to Sewell. I wasn't aware that the prices were so much lower. For the intake, it was only $65 cheaper - not a big deal (yes, it's still $65, so lesson learned). For the other parts that I'm considering, it will be more significant.
Will Sewell ship to my local Lexus dealer? Yes, the one that charges so much per hour. Yes, I'll pay the high labor price (again) to ensure the car's bumper-to-bumper warranty remains intact.
BTW - The dealer had to replace my steering rack under warranty yesterday. Well over $2,000 for parts and labor. $0 for me. You can see why I'm concerned about the warranty. (The car is only 2 months old.)
