Default Need Help With GFX Side Skirts

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone has an invoice or something with the part number for the gfx side skirts? Some guy at the end of my street decided to take a nap while almost home and give my parked car a face lift and total my neighbors SUV. I can't seem to find the part number anywhere and the shop would like to know if I have a part number so they order the right part. No way in hell I'm having front and rear gfx with stock sides. Anyway, any help would be appreciated.


Thanks and here's a pic of the damage...

Part #08150-53840

You will have to buy a random color that is in stock then have it repainted silver. GFX kits are discontinued.

Ouch.

Almost the same thing happened with me, ended up getting a new set made to order by Toyota Japan. So you can still get them if insurance are willing to buy from overseas. Hope the repair process is less painful than mine was

Awesome thanks guys for your help. Totally different part number than what they gave me. Looks like they looked up the stock ones cuz they said it was easy to find. Don't think so.

Actually I've got a brand new left hand side in your colour sitting in my shed. Toyota only sold them as a pair so I grabbed the other side that was spare. Pitty we're on opposite sides of the world!

Let me know if you get stuck, not sure on shipping from NZ to Hawaii (it's not the most ideal item to ship). But we're a global community! There is some good reps out there as well, I'm sure you'll get it sorted.

Damn well that guys insurance said that they need to replace the side skirt, door, rim, and body work to the whole side and bumpers. Anyway they told me it was easy to find but the part number they gave me was for a stock side skirt.

So I got in touch with Sewell and they do have a set. Unfortunately they told me Lexus corp said no mainland Lexus company is allowed to ship to the hawaii market. I knew Lexus of hawaii were crooks. Not only is there a monopoly on the cars but now parts too...wtf? So the only way for me to get it would be to ship it to someone on the mainland and they would have to ship it to me. So I'd have to pay double shipping

Extreme dimensions has a rep that they can ship but I'd want to go with the gfx ones first.

**** part is, I called that guys I insurance company to tell them the correct part number and they are not returning my calls. This is frustrating. All because some a hole falls asleep behind the wheel and can say sorry I fell asleep.
