Default Websites For Ordering Parts

Posting again, bare with me cause I'm still new. But, just wondering if I'm on the right track here. I have been checking out all kinds of websites for our cars and I like L-Tuned.com, Luxury Mods.com, and Sewell. Those seem to be my go to sites, but are there any others I should check out? What is the most recommended websites to order parts, and aftermarket, and even VIP items. I checked the postings for the JDM/VIP stuff, but they are all 404 on my computer, so they were not much help. Thanks!

Not really any specific parts, just websites people mostly go to for all of their needs for these cars. Different websites that sell aftermarket, OEM, or VIP parts and accessories. Just wondering if there are any good sites out there that people mainly go to. Like with my Nissan 300ZX. If I ever needed anything, websites like Z1 Motorsports or Concept Z are everyones go to sites.

No, Well I have never heard of google before? Maybe I should google that and find out what google is.

Realistically, I'm talking about good reputable sites. Im not going to just google Lexus GS300 parts and just go with the first link and possibly overpay for something of lesser quality on another site. There are sites listed on the forum already, but they are all 404. Thats why I ask.

Vipdout.com is popular. James is a trust worthy guy 👍 not to mention, the classified section of the forum has a lot of good vendors.

I already know about several websites, such as JP and K break, etc. But I was wondering about any others. Sites like L-break just happen to have certain JP products cheaper than others. Thats my point. Good sites to use for comparison.

Yeah, I saw Extreme Dimensions site and turned my nose up at it. I didn't like it, nor their prices. Lots of things look rice. IMO.

Some good sites listed already including Google. It does depend on what parts ur looking for. You could find the same part from another reputable site at a higher price. There isn't an all in one site but if I had to aim you in the direction of the closest all in one it would be:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/clu...rketplace-118/

But even that isn't an all in one stop shop. I was pretty scattered when i started buying stuff for my GS. My suggestion is to lay out a plan first. Make sure all your maitenance is on point and known issues have been adressed. Are you going interior first? Exterior first? Suspension/chasis first? Engine? Sound?

Its easy to want to start doing something to the car once you spend a lil time on this site but if you plan out what you want to accomplish its easier to know what you are looking for and where to find it. Plus it'll cost less lol I went through 4 grills before selling my favorite then sold it and the 5th grill turned out to be the cheapest and looked the best.

You'll get less flaming in previous posts and more help once you know what you wanna do. Actually everyone who has posted a comment is a wealth a knowledge in their own right. Troll the GS Build Threads and just about anything you can think of has been done, named, sourced, priced, and sometimes reviewed with supplier feedback on service and quality.

Good luck!

Thank you so much! Yes, I already know the style i'm going for, and parts I want, I just want to shop around and see if I can find these parts new or so for good prices. At the same time, certain things if I need them used, thats where the classifieds come in. As far as maintenance, im a step ahead of you. I get all my stuff that needs to be done first, mods come 2nd. My GS has an appointment with Lexus next monday at 9AM for timing belt, and lower ball joints.
