Good morning everyone,

New 2013 Lexus LS460 F Sport owner. I've been wanting one since the 2007 LS L Executive package. Instead I got a M6. Not the greatest decision lol. Anyway I'm finally getting rid of it and have been blessed with this LS. One of the first things I noticed is that it doesn't have some of the motor cover tabs holding the plastic covers in place. Is there a place (ebay, etc) that I can purchase them from? Also, what is their exact name, in case I have to contact Toyota/Lexus to purchase them? Thanks for any help given.

 

The tabs can be purchased at any auto parts stores.

 

Thanks for the quick reply!! I'll check them out and grab some.

 

Amazon also sells them.

 

Just ordered from Ali Express..50 pieces for US $ 2.97 + freight US $ 1.80 to Norway ;-)

Nice. I'll get them ordered.

 

Thanks, Arvid! I didn't know we could order those. I kept breaking them whenever I removed the engine bay covers.

 

I am glad to hear I am not the only one. I was pretty embarrassed and upset when I broke one and lost another in the engine bay. I have since not ventured to remove the engine covers. Hopefully, I will be braver now, and also get myself a stash of these clips!

 

I order a bag of these every couple of years on Ebay. I think the last batch I bought was 1.99 from China with free shipping. Just be sure to order the correct ones, cuz there are several different variants.

 

What was wrong with the M6?

 

I didn't have peace of mind because if the electrical gremlins. A light was ALWAYS on for something. Then they have crap that isn't even related connected so when one goes out it throws something else off.

Now performance wise u never had an issue. The motor and transmission ran well. That was, until LITERALLY the day I got the LS the Bimmer took a crap on me. Like as I'm driving home with the LS literally lol. So put it in the shop and come to find out it's a rod bearing (common problem with that motor). So there's everything in a nutshell. No peace if mind=no true car enjoyment.

I'll miss the sound/whine of that V10 trust me. But I love not seeing lights lit up on the dash all the time for silly stuff I should be able to fix in my driveway but can't becsuse the part has to be "programmed" to the car by BMW.

 

All that being said, I have a M6 for sale lol. Not trying to make much money off it it. It's already paid for. So if you/someone you know is in the market let me know. I already have one offer, but I'm a business major and no sale is final until money is in hand lol.

 

Man....I know what THAT feels like! I dont miss my 7 Series one bit. Nor my wife's X5.
