Shelly'sLS400

I really think they all suck!!! Lets go back to the land line and smoke signals!!!! B)

The best company, by far, is Verizon!!!!! The best phone, ???? I have an old Star-tac that works great!!! My work supplied phone is through Alltel---"No-tell" The service is awful!!! The phone is a Motorola Flip 720. Not bad.

Does anyone know of a good source for clear turn lamp lenses for my 1990 LS 400? Is there any brand better than others??? Thanks

Shaggz, these are exchange wheels !!! $400 Plus $400 deposit and send them exchange wheels of same year model wheels. By the way, I can fix those dinged fenders that you have. I am a Paintless Dent Repair artist. I work for a BMW, Volvo dealer in SC. Are the dents door dings or collision damage?

No OEM 15' chrome on Ebay!!!! More aftermarket than you can look at. I might have to step up and go that way. There are some great looking wheels out there, just wanted to stay OE.

I searched "Lexus Parts". I just looked at Lexus wheels and you are right. 659 items. Most of them aftermarket. Thanks

I looked on Ebay yesterday. They don't have much to offer Lexus owners. But I'll keep searching.

In search of some used chrome rims, that are in good shape, for my LS 400. I have not searched very hard yet, but I thought I might start here. One of my factory wheels has a slight bend, so I think its time to wheel shop. Would like to stay factory, but I am up for suggestions.

Don't get taken in by the Dent Lizard hipe!!! I am a paintless dent tech in Charleston SC, and those guys are trained to tell you what you want to hear. Make sure you look at there work under floresent lights before you let them touch your car. Don't let them practice on your pride and joy. like some people do and then regret there desicion. I have been asked to fix alot of bad dent work from so called "dent guys" and let me tell you, it's not a easy thing to do. Just a warning!!!

Check all the wiring for the lights in the trunk lid. There are ground points back there, so make sure that the nuts are tight against the wire eyelets. My light out light was on also. So I changed all the lights, still on. Checked all the wiring and found loose ground. Good luck and advise. Bryan

Well Taz, I'm glad you found me too! I have detail guys, paint touch-up guys , interior and aluminum wheel repair people. I have been in the car business since 1989 and doing PDR since 1997. I have chased hail storms for 2 years, so I think my work will speak for itself. You can call me Tuesday @ 670-3461. Hope to here from you. Bryan

We are watching the race too!!! Good luck with your A/C and door dings!! GO # 8 !!!!! Bryan

Denny, by the way, that is a # 8 tag on the front of our 400. Most people get a kick out of that. My wife wanted it on there!! Bryan Charleston SC

Hey Denny, have you gotten your car fixed yet ? Just wondering. Bryan Charleston SC

VB, drive to Charleston. I'll fix your car if you can't find anybody you can trust. :D

I do PDR for a living. I have 8 years experience and I have seen it all. Try to find a local PDR Tech. that uses a light to see his dents. Dent Wizard mostly uses a light board and works outside. Find a guy that works inside with a light. I feel the finished product is much better. Also ask to see some of there work before they touch your car. Just because they have dent tools, doesn't always make them a dent man!!!! Bryan

I would love to put those on our LS. Great choice Todd!!! Bryan

Where did you get the dash kit for the aftermarket stereo? I asked a Circuit City guy a few weeks ago and he said they didn't have the dash kits for the LS400. I haven't really checked around that much though. I have the crappy Pioneer system that sounds mediocre at best. Todd, I took my car to a local stereo shop and they said a kit had just come out for the LS400. It doesn't look bad. try some of your local car stereo shops, not Circuit City or Best Buy. If you can't find one, let me know and I will give you there phone number. Bryan

I put tires, brake pads, turned the rotors, air filter, oil change, rear coil springs (left rear spring sagged, replaced both), replaced drivers seat belt, complete aftermarket stereo system, antenna mast, and labor on some items. The alternator took a dump 2 weeks ago. I took it, the alternator, to the local auto electric shop and had it rebuilt for $138.00, compared to the price of a new or remaned junk, that was a great deal. Bryan

I had the same problem in my 90. I bought the whole belt assembly from the dealer for under $200. Its easy to install. Took about 45 minutes to an hour. You might check some salvage yards, but having a new clean belt is nice too. Hope this helps. Bryan

I'm going to go to the Toyota dealer and ask around. I know a couple of the tech's there and see if they can recommend something. All the local auto parts guy's want to know make and model. Those guys don't have a clue. And for the Lexus guys, they won't go out of there way to help you. I did Mazda parts for eight years and I can relate a little to the parts guys. Looking up light bulbs, clips, and little parts can be a pain. Thanks Todd. We like your LS. It looks like ours. Our 90 has the gray clading and bumpers and 125K. We purchased it the first of June for $4400. I work for a Hendrick dealer and bought it off the wholesale line. I put $1500 in it and know its a great car. Thanks for your input about the bulbs. Bryan

Well, I took skperformance's advise,removed the unit and bulbs, and contacted my local dealer. They tell me that the only way to purchase those bulbs, is to purchase the whole unit (700.00 plus Dollars). I got the Trac., and seat heater bulbs from Radio Shack. They work great. ( Thanks, cnacne) So, the million dollar question is, where do I go from here. If anyone has an idea, please let me know. Bryan

Thanks for the tip. I'll give that a try.

We are having the same problem. I guess I need to take the unit apart to see whats inside. Any help out there?!!!!!
