DKak Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Hi all, New Lexus owner, new member, first post ... I just bought a 2001 LS 430, Blue Onyx Pearl and it has the Sport Suspension & 17" wheel option. Just put new Cooper CS4 Touring V-rated 225/55/17V tires on it and so far, so good. Really good. Wanting to make it look closer to new, I'd like to get replacement "Sport Suspension" emblems for the front quarter panels since one is missing on my car. I've found them here (with a picture): http://www.autopartsonline.jp/pg/en/detail/le01c-n00012.html ://http://www.autopartsonline.jp/pg/en...1c-n00012.html but they don't ship to the US. Short of seeing if a local dealer will bother to order these, can anyone here direct me to a place to get them? I've had no luck scouring the Internet, including eBay, Sewell Lexus and Lextasy. Looks like it might also need a headlight leveling sensor (not sure which one yet), any recommendation for where to get one at less than full retail? Many thanks! I'll be happy to return the favor and help others with info when I can, but I'm a Lexus newbie. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKak Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 Check Carson? Thanks, I did check L-Tuned Parts -- that's Carson, right? I wonder why this is such a tough one to find? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcrome04 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Yeah I think it's L-Tuned parts...... It seems like any dealership should be able to find it.. Go pull them off another lexus! ;) hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go pull them off another lexus! ;) hahaha Yes, it might be simpler to do that! I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and ask a local Lexus dealer. Bummer ... from what I can tell so far they overprice parts even more than other brands. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcrome04 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Yeah thats unfortunate you can't find it anywhere else. I always use the local dealership as my "last resort" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKak Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 Ta-da! Problem solved. I emailed the link with photo to the folks at Sewell Lexus, www.lexus-parts.com, and they hit back in a few hours stating they had the emblems in stock even though I couldn't find them using their site search. Just got 'em and hope to put them on this weekend. Any suggestions for surface prep to get adhesive emblems to stick properly to the body? Thanks to all!
