For that price you might as well shell out a little more for OEM from Sewell. It's currently $169.58 painted SGM with the CL discount.

Thank you for that link, damn you guys are a helluva lot nicer than the punks on the eve forums

What is the deal with sewell? Are they oem parts only? I'd probably just 3m tape it instead of screw it into the car

Sewell is a lexus dealership, so they'll mostly be just OEM parts (though they might have the odd 3rd party shift **** or something)

I had a difficult time getting a couple of the bolts undone on my rear sway due to some rust on the threads and ended up giving up on it. With newer models this isn't an issue however my '06 had 40k miles on it when I did it and the bolts were a *****! So just be forewarned. I ended up taking it to the dealer for recall service the next day and had them put it on for me for $70. I figured that wasn't too bad considering I asked my usual mechanic and he quoted me $125.
