You should probably edit your 1st post and add the scan to that. Then this will have a chance to be sticky material. Instead of having to got the next page. Lazy i know, but helpful.

I dont know what the problem is in finding the correct part #'s. You will not find most of the special edition part #'s in the regular catalog. If that is what they are doing then that could be the problem. The part #'s for any special edition Lexus can be found by the dealer on the Dealer Daily website. If they click on Lexus Customer Service, then Bulletins, it will show "Special Edition" which has all the special part #'s for all the special edition vehicles. (Anniversary, Touring, Coach, Platinum, SilverSport, SportDesign, Neiman Marcus, Pebble Beach, Thundercloud, Black Diamond, etc.) Don't get me wrong, I'm glad your helping out & posting info online so people can see what is available. I'm just saying that the info is available and there is no excuse for a parts person not to be able to find it. That is what bugs me. Sorry for the rant.

Oh yeah, and the color codes listed for the the rear spolier are wrong, black does ends in C0 but the code is 202, White=A0 but is 062, & Grey=B0 but the code is 1C6. Minor detail but they still have not fixed that issue.

I take personal offense to that statement. I have been doing wholesale parts at a Lexus dealer for the last 5 years and Im not retarded. All this information is currently available online. You do not need to keep old catalogs, you just have to keep notes or know where to find info. Maybe the dealership you worked at was different but you should not make such a blanket statement.

I've worked for Lexus corporate, three different dealerships, and can certainly say that your dealer's level of organization and your utilization of resources is above and beyond most others. I wouldn't make a comment like that without a founded reason either.

It's great that you have access to this information, but I have personally seen the wrong parts being put on Sport Design, Coach Edition, or Platinum edition cars because dealers don't have the old catalog with the correct part numbers, or because they don't know how to get access to it. Clearly Club Lexus is an enthusiast website so I figured that putting this information up would give our members the resources they might need if they encounter a situation like this in the future.

I have a GS Sport Design and had the wrong headlights put on my car at one of the largest dealers in the southeast. I personally had to go dig up this parts list and give them the correct part number for the smoked SD headlights because they didn't have the correct parts list. I have seen and heard of the wrong wheel being put on a special edition car, a wrong trim piece, spoiler, etc. And this has been at dealers all over the country, not just in my area.

Those are for GS300 only? What about 98-05 GS430?

They only made GS 300 Sport Design models, but if you want to purchase any of those upgrades, they would all work on your car. It was mostly cosmetic stuff.
