Default Why are body parts impossible to find for 98-00 LS??

HELP!

I have recently purchased a 98 LS that needs a few front end body parts. I can seem to find any aftermarket replacement parts for this one. Plenty of parts for 1st gen and 3rd gen, but 2nd gen has nothing! Does anyone know a place, or have a front hood, both fenders, and a front bumper cover.

Otherwise this LS a beauty! 1998 with 130K. I can not wait to get it on the road!

There weren't enough 98-00 LS400's manufactured to justify aftermarket companies investing in making parts. Here are figures in a past post: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-...ml#post2201923

should be plenty of salvage yards with 98-00 LS400s in good condition for you to pick from. Try looking at www.row52.com and search for your model year and zipcode. You should have a good turnout, unlike me here in MI where no cars last more than 10 yrs unless they were kept out of the salt in the winter.
