csp Posted April 1, 2003 Posted April 1, 2003 I just purchased an 03 ES 300 and I wanted a set of splash guards installed. The dealer told me that Lexus no longer has a part number for them. Can anyone direct me where I might be able to locate a set. Many Thanks.
steviej Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 I have an 02 ES (virtually the same car) and wondered the same. I have not been able to find any, nor have I seen any 02-03 ES with them. good luck and post if you find them. steviej
csp Posted April 2, 2003 Author Posted April 2, 2003 Steve, I was in contact with a friend who owns a body shop and he suggested that I check with Toyota parts because the Camry shares the same platform with the lexus and they have splash guards for the redesigned 02-03 Camry. I am going to visit the local Toyota dealer this week. Will keep you posted. Best Regards, Jay
SW03ES Posted April 2, 2003 Posted April 2, 2003 The Toyota ones wont fit right. The ES and the Camry share the same platforms, but they don't share any body panels, my guess is 95% they wont fit right. What I'm trying to find for you is a website that you can order OEM Japanese parts for the Lexuses. Lexus doesn't sell many of the mud flaps here, but in Japan its a factory option and its much more popular. I've seen the site, but just can't remember the URL. They sell lots of things for the ES like the chrome trunk bars that are on the JDM Toyota Windom (same as our ES300), Windom badges, and I believe they had the mud guards. I'll get back to you, its bound to turn up.
SW03ES Posted April 3, 2003 Posted April 3, 2003 I found the site, unfortunately no mud guards. Sorry, I tried :(
steviej Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 was it this site. http://shop.store.yahoo.com/lexusparts/lex...exesbacvis.html I kinda like the chrome trunk bar. hmmmmmm?? steviej
SW03ES Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 Yep, thats it. I've been going back and forth on that trunk bar too...
zeta Posted April 8, 2003 Posted April 8, 2003 wow that's one expensive trunk bar, steve. $110 just for that piece of chrome metal? not including shipping too. wow... <_<
SW03ES Posted April 8, 2003 Posted April 8, 2003 The black chrome badges cost $500 ;) The main thing with the trunk bar is, while I like the look of it, I'm considering upgrading to black chrome badges (although I wont spend $500 for them lol) and the looks probably wouldn't go. I saw something very interesting on ebay the other day, black chrome wheels, they looked kinda sharp.
steviej Posted April 8, 2003 Posted April 8, 2003 I can't understand the pricing on that website. They want $450 for a set of floor mats. I just bought a new set of front and back, with clips (for front) from the dealer for $108. go figure!?
steviej Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 ok.......and.................I'm still missing something. $342 for printing WINDOM instead of LEXUS. WOW I'll take the $108 set. Go figure, I remove the winter mats cause it's April, right. I buy brand new mats, right. AND IT FRICKIN SNOWS AGAIN!!!
SW03ES Posted April 9, 2003 Posted April 9, 2003 hahahahahaha, the same thing is happening here Steve, it was 80 for a week, now its flurrying again
zeta Posted April 10, 2003 Posted April 10, 2003 still worse here. 80-90 one day. hail the next. and this wasn't small hail this was like golfball size hail. thanks goodness for garages... :)
