The first two are for Canadian models so I assume they have the headlight washers. The 3rd one is the US model. All of them should be basically the same though I don't know why the first one is $200 cheaper.

It would be nice if the cheaper one would work, I guess I'll have to contact them.

They also have a flat shipping rate of $150...

Yeah it's the shipping that kills you. I would ask them what are the differences in the bumpers to see if the cheaper one would work.

price for 52119-50923 at my local dealership (carson, also a sponsor) is 615 without clublexus discount. ANd i'd pick up so no shipping.

Your prices aren't "employee", they're the full dealership list price.

Well he's going to have to pay shipping wherever he orders it from unless he can find one in a local yard. Going to the local dealers Bay Ridge or Lexus of Queens is going to be full price.

Since the factory cover is more $, check into the aftermarket ones?

Yea I realized that when he told me the price, I asked if that was my price too.

I'd rather they just tell me they are marking it back up to retail rather than playing it off like they are helping me lol.

It's going to be a long wait since most of the cars I have seen in the yards had lots of front end damage. You might have to find a broken one and have some work done to it.
