Default Best site to order OEM Lexus Parts for SC400

Just got a 1998 SC400 and I wanted to know where are the best places or sites to order OEM parts and performance parts. Don't know what I want to do with it yet, but really want to keep original parts on there. So far I need a new key to be made and programmed, mirror for the passanger side (just the mirror), and my antenna don't go all the way down. Appreciate the help... Glad I am now a Lexus owner....

Sign up to Lexus.SewellParts.com with your username here in CL, and you'll get up to 40% discount on most parts. You can buy a new key there. You can try the junkyard for the mirror. You can buy a new antenna mast from eBay for like $13, I've had mine a little over a year now and no problems at all. Good luck and welcome to CL.

With a Supraforums discount, I continue to use Champion/Jay Marks Toyota. They consistently have the lowest prices on OEM Toyota and Lexus parts. They will ship FedEx and are always packaged very, very well.

Direct replacement OEM parts are getting harder and harder to find for the SC400/300's. Try finding a set of new, genuine, floor mats. Very difficult. Doing simple online searches has yielded me the best results. It's good to know also that the SC has a lot of compatible parts to its more famous cousin the Toyota Supra. The front lower control arms for one. A great upgrade if you ever find yourself in need of new ball joints and or bushings. The information is out there, you just need the patience and tenacity to find it. Welcome to Club Lexus, I'm sure you will find all you need and much much more!

Try Google. Lots of racks for the choosing.

I have tried to buy from them in the past and they were 90% of the cost at the dealer for brand new
Their prices are super high.

Default Great Find

Wow! Looky here what I found! Lifetime Warranty and they only re manufacture OEM R&P's. Now this is a deal. I got these guys bookmarked for future reference. $176.00 bucks. Like new.

seek and ye shall find!

And for your added enjoyment, here is a nice link if you want to R&R the rack yourself.
