Default spoilerless trunks in CA junkyard

Anyone ever see any 2GS with any spoiler less trunks in SOCAL (specifically for me SD / IE) ? Trying really hard to find one but most places require an entrance fee to get in and search. Went twice and didn't see ONE GS

Maybe we can start a thread for lookouts on parts?

2GS are usually in auto dismantling yards, which you tell them what you want and they go pick it for you. Usually more expensive I believe. I've seen plenty of 1GS in Pick a Parts though

Found this on car-parts.com:

1999 Lid/Gate Lexus GS300 - Tapatio Autoparts - SCADA USA-CA(San-Diego) Request_Quote 619-661-1528 / 619-661-5064 $250

I did click on "no spoiler", but it's a good idea to call and ask. Most of these places will also give you a discount if you pay in cash and willing to pick up.

There's a street in Irwindale/Duarte called Alpha Street. This entire street is dedicated to wrecking yards. It's off the 605 freeway, I believe the Live Oak exit, near the Irwindale Speedway.

They carry all makes, Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevy, etc.

Here's the Yellow Pages listing for these places:
http://www.yellowpages.com/duarte-ca/junk-yard

Give them a call before you go down to see if any of the places have it. It's not a pick-a-part place so don't go down there with tools expecting to pull parts from vehicles.
