Default Trunk lid struts

Has anyone ever replaced their trunk lid struts, mine are starting to let the trunk slam down a little too easy. Anyone know where to buy other than the dealer?

Im hoping for aftermarket too. The stock ones wear out way too quickly, mine were done after 2 years

OP I think you should look at a salvage yard.

I'm an OEM kind of guy. Just go through Lexus for the part. If you're looking for cheaper, see if Sewell has it, we get a discount.
