[barinder_thandi]

hi every1 i am new to this forum and have just bought a lexus gs300 se 1998 in black, with black leathers :) fully loaded with sat nav :)

few questions for you more experienced lexus owners.

i have just purchased some gs300 sport 18" alloys but only have 3 center caps. wer the hell can i get a center cap from??? all lexus tell me is "parts discontinued"....

i also want the small boot lip spoiler. wer do i get 1 of them from?? because on eBay they very cheap but all come from taiwan lol

also any regular problems the gs300 develops at around the 100k mark that i should be looking out for please let me know.

cheers everyone barinder

The centre caps are discontinued, so other than scrap yards and eBay, there are not many options. The last set of four caps I saw on eBay went for pretty high money.

The spoilers from Taiwan are good, I got the roof spoiler and they are great quality with excellent painting, boot lip spoilers I think are the same thing, so should be equally as good.

Nothing really common I can think of, caliper/slide pin seizure is common on all Lexus models pretty much, so keep those slide pins lubed up at every pad change.

Actually, are they mk1 Sport wheels, or mk2 Sport wheels?
