Hey everyone Sewell has been an integral part of the online business for Lexus parts for a long time. It is sad to see them go away. I also use MyLparts.com for Lexus parts. They have been around for almost 10 years themselves. Matt & Jeff have helped me out numerous times on the phone. They also give a Club Lexus discount on top of their prices. I always get my stuff very fast from them. Their shipping prices are very reasonable and I think they still do free shipping over a certain amount. Hope this helps.

Man, I've already been having a bad week...and now this!
Guess I'll be ordering some wiper blade inserts sooner rather than later.

You don't have to sign up for MyLparts.com. They have a discount code CL5 that will get you 10% off their online prices.

I think ebay just killed them. Many other dealers sell their part cheaper than sewell.

From my understanding, the reason sewell was unique, and different from some of the other sites mentioned, is because they offered more than just oem replacement parts.... they had fsport upgrades and premium package upgrades that a dealership would sell at an inflated price.

I agree with you CMACE23 but if everyone on CL has been ordering parts from Sewell with no problems (counterfeit, etc.) and we have no complaints... then I guess no issues on me ordering LED headlights

And thx for the info 355F1...

Sewell should thank us for the support over the years by offering an one time sales event ending on 3/1/15.

We should get a list of sites/places to get OEM / F Sport parts from.

Sewell's site is so damn good! Even compared to other companies, their site was on a whole different level.
