AK- IS250 build from the ground up
This is my first post on this forum..
- I am coming from the BMW world and have owned a few different cars. This is my first lexus and it's a project.
Purchased the car after a front end collision.
Color on exterior is black and interior white and black.
2009 IS250 with roughly 79k miles.
I am almost done assembling everything and will update with pictures.
I found out the hard way that I need only 2009 - 2010 face lift parts...
Currently, Having a hard time finding an emblem with the back-plate that attaches to the grill. I checked the toyota catalog and the part number only has the chrome portion.
Has anyone dealt with similar issues chasing down the emblem back plate?
thanks for the help and stay tuned for pictures.
