I dont think you can order them from the dealerships. I think its exclusive to Lexus of Japan. You might wanna try with Sewell Lexus in Texas. Just to avoid searching and calling around dealerships, i would get it from Carson Toyota. I got it from them and it was in stock, so no waiting =)

I get it, but its not like I am trying to by a BMW M3 CSL. Its a plastic window visor. Lexus should integrate its accessories. I think thats kind of reasonable

Lexus should integrate alot of things but they don't, I think its because of there major costumer base.

I'm so jealous of people from japan. They can get the "passionate black leather" edition on the GS.

It's all about the demand of each market, in the States, people like us are rare, a small percentage compare to Japan or other Asian regions/countries. Over there in Pacific Rim countries, factory and aftermarket accessories are popular to almost all models of cars and people shop car differently. Toyota and Lexus made the call, unfortunately… blame it to the rest of fellow GS or Lexus owners. A few years ago, I have to import a Toyota Highlander OEM body kit myself from Toyota Japan just because it’s not available here through the dealer.

They are only making 500 of the passionate black Gs. They need to keep the interest up in japan. They dont do as well in japan as they do in the states( or at least in relative sales). Lexus is 2nd from the bottom in luxury car sales in japan. They dig the german stuff a little more. Kind of strange how they are loved so much in the states, but in japan they prefer other makes.
