Rock auto site is pretty easy to use. It's in English and where it says part number, or part search, type the parts you need. If you don't know what part you need, bring it to your nearest dealership because you shouldn't be working a car if you don't even know the part you need or the name of it. i don't know if they can dumb it anymore. who cares if the web site is ugly yellow. It's a part store not a fashion site.
If I save $$ I can careless about how the site looks.

Online have a lower prices because they have lower overhead cost. People that buys pasts online knows what they need and want. The stealerships have a high overhead. They need to make the money somewhere. If you want parts then shop at rock auto if you don't mind blowing money, then head to your nearest stealerships. If you don't care about your car, then shop at the nearest auto store

For your maintaince parts I would go to rock auto and not the stealerships. Rock auto had the same water pump that the sewells sells but cheaper. The same one!!!!!

Wait I am confused. Sewell Lexus is a Lexus dealer. Selling genuine Lexus parts in Toyota logo boxes. Rock Auto is an aftermarket auto parts store. They do not sell parts in Toyota logo boxes. So how can these parts be the same in your opinion??

Where do you enter the discount code for MyLParts?
I didn't see anywhere on the checkout page, or the cart.

Thanks

You will key the discount code in on the 2nd page of the cart. First page you enter all your info, name address and so on. There is a spot for CC info, but it is not required at this point. Second page you pick your shipping and enter discount code. Hope this helps! Thanks

I've purchased accessory parts from Lexus parts World which I think is part of MyLparts. I had no issues with them. Great service too. Matt is very responsive to emails.

Matt,
Maybe you have some additional info on F sport shocks? There's a stop sale and no one knows when it will be lifted. Not even corporate.

So does the free shipping over $150 include a bumper? Given the size I figured that may be extra?

For my Lexus mainteance, I buy most stuffs from Sewell and have Tommy@MusicBox or Another independent shop to do it for me. I do go to stealership for recalls, diagnosis when potential problem arises, or any warranty work. I know my cars are well maintained at a very reasonable cost because i know exactly what i need and who can do it for me.
