GFX Rear Lip....No Black...?
I been looking everywhere for a color matched rear GFX lip and Sewell says its "discontinued" when I click on the option. Is there anywhere that sells that OEM Black color..? And also I don't know if I have Black Onyx or Obsidian......? I didn't see a color code anywhere on the car or in the manual.....? Thanks

swell is out of stock for black onyx and obsidian. now a days its hard to find a vendor that sells prepainted gfx front lips in that color. next option is to just buy one and repaint it. theres a recent thread here that says sewell is selling it for $60. thats pretty cheap already.
also theres no real difference between black onyx and obsidian. looks the same to me.
*update: sorry that thread for the $60 lip was for the front GFX lip

you should try calling your local lexus dealer. thats what i did for my rear. as luck would have it they still had it in stock after all these years.
what happened was that somewhere in the catalog where they reference their inventory, it had black listed as certain color code, so when they did a search it was unavailable, but there was a guy there who heard that the color code for black changed, and that the catalog was outdated. so sure enough they tried the new color code and they were able to locate it in the warehouse. i think thats why it stayed there so long was because probly when they did the inventory search they were inputting the wrong color code. best of all, it was only $90!!!
im not saying that thats what'll happen for you, but luck was on my side, maybe it can be on yours too. i would try it out just for the heck of it.

you can actually have sewell paint and ship it but it will be kind of pricey, call them and ask for darrel, here is his information

these are the prices he gave me back then, the price below is just for paint, rear lip price not included(i.e. rear lip 168+paint 180= 346, i think it is about 400 shipped)
Rear lip: $180
Sides: $120
