Broken Vent?
Hey guys,
For whatever reason I need a new center vent for my 2007 IS250.
You know the part with the four plastic bars with the thing in the center that moves the vent around? One of those bars is broken at one end.
My question is, can I just change that or do I need to change the whole apparatus? And how much am I looking to spend on parts?

Tell them it was a stress crack..see if that flies. if not, prepare to spend like $125 or whatever they charge for the center vents.

Do you know the best place to buy the unit (ie:cheapest price shipped)? The local dealer is charging me about $227.
