Hi shwonder,
Thanks for the reply, I totally understand about shipping. If you could supply some contact info, that'd be helpful. Is it www.lexuspartsdepot.com? Unfortunately, they seem to be showing a price of $275 now. =( ...Was there a contact there who helped you get a better deal?
I got this info from this forum and ordered from www.lexuspartsdepot.com a month ago. Bill Erickson <berickson@lexusnorthshore.com> was my contact. I can not advise what's happened with the price but it was $240 when I got it (the cheapest price I could find for original Lexus part).
