Question Where to buy replacement parts

I need to buy a tow hook cap (officially termed the "toy eye cap") for my 2015 GS crafted line. I bought a replacement piece once 3 years ago when the headlight washer had fallen out and it came painted matched to my car and I remember there being multiple colors to pick from. However, now that I am looking for a replacement tow hook cap I can't find anyone offering color options. I can't remember the website where I bought the headlight washer so long ago but I remember it wasn't from Lexus. If someone could link me a site or a direct link to a tow hook cap where I can pick from some colors I would appreciate it. I have a 2015 GS-crafted line edition (white).

Also for some reason lexus has two listings for this same part. What is the difference between these two parts?

I don't believe they sell them painted here in the states. Here are a few helpful threads:

You might be able to find an unpainted one from your local dealer and have someone paint it. Try eBay to see if there are any sellers that have some already painted.

You can buy it painted by Lexus in Japan.

jp-carparts.com

I bought mine painted liquid platinum it was about $20 with shipping, the part was only $5. Also perfect match.

For some reason they don’t sell it painted in the USA.

For me liquid platinum is called sonic silver in Japan.
You go by the paint code, in my case it's 1J2

I just googled it and the paint code for ultra white is 83 and the paint code for white nova is 83.

It's the same exact color, just has a different name in Japan.
