Default Sources for maintenance parts and other questions

Where do you get maintenance parts from the 'net?

I went to Lexus-parts.com and they have very few parts for my '94 LS 400.

In Lexus autoparts and lexus-auto-and-parts is hard to tell which options are of OEM quality. I'm interested in good parts, not cheap substitutes.

Any suggestions for aftermarket plug wires?

Is the cabin air filter a do-it-yourself endeavor?

My car has only 45K miles but the belts, including the timing belt will be 10 years old by year's end. Do you think it is prudent to change it?

Thanks!

prudent, yes if you can afford it. the belts are rubber and rubber degrades over time, especially 10 years.

you can try here:

I got all my OEM GM parts for my previous car. I do not know how they are for import parts, but it is worth a try.

Hi
You can give www.parts.com a try, just check under Lexus parts. They have a good selection of original equipment parts.
