Default Help finding a few parts, and fixing a few things...

Hey everyone,

A few days ago I bought a 2003 IS300 that needs a little bit to get it back into perfect shape.

First of all, the antenna is all cracked and terrible looking. The dealership quoted me $89 for a new one. Are there any other options that look stock or are at least very clean that are cheaper?

Secondly, for whatever reason, one of my fog lights is yellow, and the other is white. I'd like to have them both be white again. What do I need in order to switch it back? Is it a matter of a bulb or of the projector lens housing?

Finally. I'm missing a few of the little black snap things that hold down the carpeting in the trunk. Where can I order more from?

Thanks,

Nathan

Well, I found a nice looking $6 antenna on ebay I ordered. It'll be interesting to see how it fits and holds up.

does the fog have an overlay on top of it? if so take it off. otherwise its the bulb you have to replace

as for the trunk its just push clips. you can get it at any auto store just take off one thats there and bring it into the store to compare it. they should also have them on eBay

Thanks for the info on the clips. The fog light has a clear housing, but a yellowish looking lens inside it. The other side has a clear housing but a white/clear lens inside it. Did the 2003 cars come with a white or yellow fog lights? Also, is there any advantage to yellow lights or are they for looks?
