Hi, I've just purchased my new toy.

1999 V GS300 Sport.

Chichester Blue, grey leather. 62k. Paid £16.5k from lexus main dealer. I have been looking for one for ages with Sat Nav but couldn't find one. Ended up purchasing from Lexus main dealer. Who knows may fit an aftermarket one later. <br>
Anyway...... First mod, I am looking to change side mirrors to clear turn indicator (you know the ones that light up when you turn left/right). I seem to remember an link to a USA site that sold kids/mods for lexus. Just cant remember which one!. Any help much appreciated. Kind Regards.............P.S Sport pics to follow. V. pleased with it so far! No problems.

Hmmmm........ Just called Lextacy. They are based in Calif, USA. I spoke to a guy. It souded like I'd got him out of bed (5pm our time = 12:00 lunchtime!!).
I made enquiries about this product and he didn't seem very interested. Says he had them in stock, yet the web site says 3-4 weeks delivery time. He also said they wouldn't accept a credit or debit card. HAD to be a money order.
I'm slightly worried as If I do send this I can't trace/stop payment ($460) once it's gone.
Does anyone know anything about this company? Has anyone ordered anything and has good/bad reports?
Any info appreciated.
Thanks Guy's (Oooops and girls !!! Apparantly they drive lexus now too !!)

A few of us have had problems but only with ordering and his attitude. I've not heard of any problems actually supplying them. I've heard he is quite fast really.
Have a look at this - [url="http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=32&t=5992&hl=lextasy"]Here[/url]
He may be a late riser - 5pm our time is 9am in Calif. (Pacific time). Either way, he was really snotty with me and I was contacting him through email!

Nice one Geoffers

That's just what I was looking for. Got a bad feeling when I spoke to him. Didn't seem interested and (like the rest) just got one line answers and grunts.
Anyone know where you can get the side (mirror) lights for GS sport Mk II ?
P.S Just a slight problem with my new Sport. That

rattling noise coming fom the rear of the car. It's not the sunroof. Sounds more like the back of the car.
Maybe wheel balance is the answer? I've got Pirelli 245/40/18's all round. Not that impressed

Mine's a UK sport. Doesn't come with Blinds. Are there many diff's between UK gs and Aristo (Mk2?). I considered one of these, but wasn't sure if you could convert Sat Nav for Jap to Eng.

OK, so I guess you can't get the side mirror indicator lights in the UK for the GS300 then. Thanks anyway.

Sorry to hear this man.
I read on clublexus that Lextasy.com is run by someone who is now banned.

Update us on how it goes or check with your credit card company and ask for a refund!
