Dont rule out ebay. Yes there is a lot of crap on there, but there are a few dealers selling on there as well. One well respected that I've used for a long time is TOYOLEXPARTS, its a dealer based in Florida. The better part about these ebay stores is that they dont charge you ridiculous shipping charges and are realistic with them. Not to mention you'll find many people who buy the parts and end up not using them and liquidate their garages.

I heard Lexus made them shut down, not sure if that's true or not, but read on a different forum that's what someone was told when they called and asked. Which is sad if true.

Does anyone have any recommendations on where to get a replacement? Also, does anyone know of a how-to?

Thanks a lot guys!

On your how to request, suggest you check the FAQ / DIY sticky right at the top of this forum. I think you'll strike gold.

Man these news suck! I've spent allot of money on Sewell Parts. My car has a ton of OEM parts from they're site. Smh. Getting genuine OEM parts will be more difficult now, o doubt, But, there's still hope thru eBay. I've bought authentic OEM parts on certain occasions from a few sellers. I'm sure they'll be good alternatives. We in the CL community have a good trait. And that trait is that we all share info and spread it thru the forum. Knowledge is wealth my friends. #GodBless everyone. I hope everyone has a great night!

Default Where to buy OEM Lexus parts?

Hi guys, with Sewell shut down, where can I buy OEM Lexus parts these days online?

If I have to buy another part from the autoparts chain (Autozone, Rockauto, etc) that doesn't fit or isn't OEM quality, I'm going to flip.

Thanks

It's already been mentioned in this thread (a few times) alternative places to order parts from... just saying.
