Default Wheel Well Plastic Liner

I need to replace the plastic liner in both front wheels and am having trouble locating the parts. Tried Sewell, and when I googled it + club lexus I found a few posts in the IS and RX forums, but nothing about needing part #'s and a place to order =\

I realize this is a strange thing to have to replace, but can anyone help? I also wonder if theres a non OEM version so I'm not paying a hundred bucks a side for some Lexus plastic lol.

thats gonna be a dealer only part for new condition, you can probably find a nice set of used in a salvage yard for cheap.

I have a pair of aftermarket ones for sale. I bought 2 sets back about a year ago. I replaced the ones on my car and kept a set of spares. Let me know if you're interested.

Buy them own. Trust me - aftermarket ones fit like a medium t-shirt on a 500 lb person. To make it fit you need alot of modification.

I agree. Every single after-market splash shield I have ever seen fits like socks on a rooster! A bodyman I worked with once commented while holding an aftermarket piece that "I can make this fit on any car".
