As a heads up, FS and WTB don't belong in the discussions section. I'm curious as well so I'll edit the original so that we can discuss what dealer options were available.
Lexus dealers offered all sorts of wacky accessories that where not sanctioned by Lexus corporate in the early days such as pin stripes, BBS wheels and built-in hidden radar detectors that had their warning lights in the instrument cluster.
The official list of accessories was short. I probably gave the 1990 accessories brochure to the person who bought my 1990 LS400 in 2003.
Besides the phone, IIRC, the official accessories list included wheel locks, carpet floor mats, touch-up paint, trunk cargo net and a manually retractable blind for the back window.
I bought only the carpet floor mats at the time I bought the car and bought the cargo net and rear window blind a little later. I had an indie Lexus repair shop install the retractable blind. I remember that the repair shop owner borrowed the huge template needed for drilling the holes for it from a Lexus dealership in another city.
The Lexus phone seemed unreasonably expensive but the Lexus dealership offered a far less expensive President brand phone option that looked much like the Lexus phone. The President phone handset looked much like the Lexus phone and installed in the center console but had its own speaker and didn't have a remote control on the steering wheel. I used the President phone until it stopped working in 1999.
Here is an accessories list I found in my 1990 brochure. As Kansas mentioned, dealers had additional accessories available, like the 16-inch Prime wheels. [I didn't know about the radar detector though!]
If anyone has their window stickers and knows what the dollar amounts were for each accessory, I would love to know that and/or see pictures. I've been wanting to make a replica Lexus window sticker template for ages, but I'm missing all of the prices and the order in which accessories were listed.
EDIT: I've determined that mud guards were another dealer offered option, and varied depending on what year they were installed on each LS. There were two styles; one of which was slimmer than the other.

Mudguards / Mudflaps (whatever you want to call them) were in the parts catalog instead of the accessory catalog but were never in the U.S. parts catalog for any year of the LS400. Some U.S. Lexus dealers apparently were able to obtain them - perhaps from the Lexus Canada parts catalog or from a Canadian Lexus dealer.
I was in the U.K. on vacation in June 1990 and bought mudflaps for my 90 LS400 from a London Lexus dealer. When I bought an off-lease 2000 LS400 in 2003, mudflaps for it were not available from U.S. Lexus dealers so I bought a set from a Lexus dealer in Victoria BC.
The mudflaps for the 1993-1994 LS400 are a different part number than those for the 1990-1992 LS400 - probably due to the revised/thicker lower side mouldings on the 93-94. The mudflaps on the 1995-2000 LS400 are all the same and are smaller and less effective that those on the 1990-1994 LS400.

Wow, just what I was looking for! Thank you.
If you wouldn't mind scanning your window sticker, it would be great to have another one to look at. No worries if you don't though; you've already gone out your way
The biggest reason why I've been working on a template is mine is missing. That, and this DeLorean sticker template exists
Window sticker. This is for my '91 LS400, bought new by my in-laws. Slightly weird option with this car - it did not come from Lexus with leather seats or a sunroof. My in-laws did want leather but did not want the sunroof, so they got it like this, and aftermarket leather was installed at the dealership prior to them taking delivery. I don't see any indication of this on the window sticker. But most LS400's back in those days should show the leather interior option.
I scanned all 4 corners so you'd have the whole thing. NE for north-east, etc.

Very cool! Seeing your window sticker will really help me understand how mine would have looked as well, especially since our cars seem to have been almost clones from the factory (same paint color, no sunroof, cloth).
Thanks so much for the scans and for all of the effort you put into it.
