Send an email to Darrel Diller [DDiller@SEWELL.com], and mention that your are Club Lexus member. That shipping price does not look right. I got mine last year, and the shipping wasn't much at all.

I don't know about touch up paint.
For instance, the dealer here quoted me $11 per lug nut for oem 16 wheel compared to something like $5 at Sewell.
L-tuned s/s was like $800 for parts alone, and they quoted me about $850 to replace the rotor and pad for rear only. I think about $400 of that $850 was for parts.
So pretty much every parts at Lexus dealers around here is more than double of what I can get online from dealers like Sewell and Carson.

Touch up paint from the dealer isn't expensive at all..I got some touch up paint for my MB (down below) and it wasn't no more than $15 bucks. They just need your vin# so they can get the correct color and your good to go.

After my experience with touch up paint 
, I would reccomend going to a pro. Shell the extra $70, but the thing would not look like a wart. Actaully it is not that bad but the pro did a better job on the other car.
My view is unless you do a complete paint job, you have to be content with either a small wart, or chip covered up (little pit).
Check with the dealer for a body shop. They even have touch-up guys show up in their parking lot.

Just make it easy on yourself and the other members. All this messaging over a $10 to $15 item is too much to handle. You'd already have your nicks painted if you stopped by your local Lexus dealer and 'bit the bullet' for this high dollar item.
No offense mate!
