I tried sewell and they were not cheaper than this place and they are factory original supports. I replaced both of mine bout a month ago and my car has 80,000miles.

Thanks to you...I just checked my ECP extended warranty which is 8 years/ 200K (kilometers) on my car and low and behold my hood shocks are covered under Body Hardware.
I did not even think this would be covered, as it seemed to be a wear and tear item.
deemed as ......"Hood and Hatch supports" and listed under Body Hardware.
BTW this is a Canadian Warranty, yours may differ.
Thanks Sean...problem solved.

You're still under warranty? Was there a doubt they weren't going to replace it? Dealers pretty much want to do as much warranty work as possible so they get paid by Lexus. And they just say "we're taking care of the customer"

There is lots of stipulations, wear and tear clauses, that exempt Lexus liability....so you have to read the fine print carefully.
They even have different coverages on wheel bearings, for rear wheel and front wheel drive cars...so its not quite a slam dunk.
As an example my old OEM exhaust tip fell off, due to the bad tack welds...they would not cover this under warranty. My recent serpentine tensioner failure was also not covered, and there is even a TSB on it........Lexus Canada has some differences over the USA as well.

Got my replacements from an eBay vendor - liftsupports. Both trunk and hood. Fit perfectly. My hood struts died during the valve lash adjustment. I had to clamp the rod with vise grips to hold the hood open while I was waiting for the new struts.
