That's most likely dealer only. Try Carson Toyota in CA, ask for the parts dept and tell them what u need, Tap auto Recycling, or your local junk yard.

Sewell
Irontoad
Parts.com
probably many others

Ask for a price quote if you don't see the part you need.

Well, just wondering...what year is your LS firsthand?
I found mine on sewell lexus parts online for less than $100 plus shipping.
Mine is for a 90-94.
PM Me if you need the part number or link, so i can look it up.

Maybe not such a good idea. It helps to keep water off of the alternator when its raining or driving through puddles. Also, here in the northeast, there's too much road salt and the like during the winter. Everything would take a beating. I'd be afraid to go through a car wash with an undercarriage wash as well. An undercarriage wash is a must around here.

Well with my luck all I'd have to do is spit on it and it would probably short out!
