Oh man, that green one sure had one hell of an impact.
As a green owner myself, it makes me sad to see it.

 

Yeah Tap Recycling is up in Sacramento area...I've been subscribed to their email service. You can get updates of when they receive any Lexus' in the yard.

 

hey how do i subscribe? maybe i can get some goodies too

 

I mourn for them all, but especially for the first gen GS.

 

This hurts to see.

 

The wheel itself (even with the wood inserts) is not what costs so much...it is the air bag components inside the wheel that cost the real bucks...not to mention the labor hooking all that super-sensitive stuff back up.

 

..................................................................................................... a moment of silence please to our brothers who fought bravely!!! anyways i need the site address please i mean i feel bad and all but lets face it, its all in the benefit for us!

 

check my first post its www.taprecycling.net

 

Not true, my friend. Many of the cheesy, ricey ones were in Lexus hell before they were ever totaled!

 

hmm.. can we do a part transplant for my car? I need some parts cuz mines hanging on flatline right now.

Sick, your pic makes a tear come down my cheek cuz that pic looks almost like the impact mine sustained in january except mine is a bit less damage... a little bit less.

 

Oooh Ok. Got it now.

<spoken is Superman narrative>: This sounds like a job for BA-NA-NAAAAAA - GEEE ESSS!

....any chance getting a DIY?

 

when i tried to get parts for my car from that vendor i got nowhere.

3 email requests and 1/2 dozen phone calls went unreturned...

but they do seem to have a lot of parts.

 

I sent him a message this morning and recieved this about 15 minutes ago:

TAP is a hit/miss deal, I've tried them sporadically since the mid-80's and aside from the timing, some of the prices can be high. With the parts search at local dismantlers, I have been much happier. YMMV
