AFTERMARKET spark plug wires.
Has anyone heard of or installed after market wires on a Lexus yet?
My friend said there is a company that makes them for the JZS 147/161 - UCF 10 -21 & Harrier. He saw them being installed on a Celsior UCF11 about 5-6 months ago at a speed shop.
The only thing he knows was for what cars and they were red in color. I just happen to be talking to him about some for my car and he told me this. He does not remember who makes them but he will find out for me.
Heck I told him while he was asking to order me some if the price was not tooooooo expensive.
By the way has anyone replaced all the wires with stock ones and how much did those cost?

A friend of mine bought Vitek wires for his car (not a Lexus) and he said he noticed a bit more power. I helped him install them and they did not fit like the OEM ones, but they did work. So, considering that a set of Lexus OEM wires is a little over $100, these may be worth a try, but they may not fit perfectly. I was thinking about these Vitek wires myself but I'm gonna stick with OEM.

I ask my friend to see if he could talk to the guy who got some installed and see how he like them & ask the speed shop how they fit. Not many VIP cars have a fixed up engine so I dont know of anyone I could ask.

I've seen a few listings wandering the net and most are about $150. I was going to check a local ingintion shop about having some made up. Stock looks like it is 6.5-7mm, pretty small diamater as far as aftermarket wires go, these seem to be 8- 8.5mm.

not sure what wires I'll buy. I'm gonna have to take a look at my engine with the wire covers off to see how much room there actually is. I might email Vitek and ask them too....

Good news
I got a nice detailed response from Vitek today.
I'm convinced now, just need to decide on a color 
.
Hey Carl,
Vitek is one of the only manufacturers to make true performance wires for the Lexus LS400. Our part number for this product is 80E37 followed by the first letter of the color. Example: 80E37R is red. Our wires are of the highest quality available on the market today. They are triple insulated and carry a limited lifetime warranty.
we originally started making them for the Lexus LS400 back in 1996 and because we are about the only company that makes performance wires for Lexus, Of course we sell alot of them, and yes we have sold many LS400 sets over the years. In fact, it is one of our highest refferal products. One guy gets them and then his friends see them and how well they work and the orders just keep growing. Our special is set to expire at the end of December, so if you want to get them I would reccomend that you get your order in. I will tell you that because the Lexus wires are actually one of our more expensive wire sets to build, this discount puts you right around cost on the product. It is a fantastic deal.
"Thank You" for you inquiry and I hope that I have answered your question today.

I just check out the site for the ignition wires. I had seen it before a long time ago, but I think I'm gonna try them too. What color should I get? White or Silver? My car is White but I have Chrome wire loom to decorate the engine bay.

Finally!
After waiting and waiting (shipping took forever) I finally have my new wires . Now the only question is, when will it be warm enough in MN to install them? I've gotta get a few more things for the tune-up, but the weather is my main problem. These wires look sweet. I sure hope they fit as the guy claimed.
