Recommended Way To Order Parts

[bigbottombill]

I've been told I need a set of rear back plates and a rear handbrake shoe fitting kit, so I had a bit of a google around and managed to track down a handbrake and fitting kit on eBay.

I haven't managed to track down a set of rear back plates as yet.

Thought I'd drop the question here of what are the options for getting IS200 parts such as these. Can you just ring up your local dealer and order these parts (for a premium)? Any online places any members use and recommend? Any members have their own shops?

Probably no single answer to this :-)

Yes you can just order the parts from the lexus dealer...

some of them you can get from your local parts man but not everything...

Check scrapyards on eBay for the parts wanted as most of the cars they break are just insurance write off's ( doesn't mean that those parts are gone ;) ) and also check in the parts for sale section on this website as some are breaking whole cars ;)

Most likely dealer only for the back plates if you want new, lexus will normally want your VIN to make sure the correct parts are ordered and supplied.

We do have a member on the forums (ACLex) who will supply the parts you need delivered to your door, Gold members also benefit from a discount.

Thanks for your knowledge guys, I'll check out the parts for sale section first and I would prefer new for the back plates (they seem to be the hardest to find). I'll also check out ACLex, its good to know we have a supplier right here on the forums.

Failing that I'll contact the dealer directly.

I'll update on how I get on as this post will prove useful if it pops up in someone's search results.

Thanks :)
