If the color you request is no longer available from lexus then they have to have an existing one custom repainted, which raises the cost- they just explained this in another thread.

Basically this. I'd find a local dealer to paint your GFX rear, honestly Sewell's prices for these "unique" colors (OEM RIGHTLOL?) are just plain robbery. my2cents

It's not worth $357 for a subtle rear lip. My color is about $280. But I just bought a new one from a cl member and will have it painted.

If you login on the website and have the CL discount, the price of the smoky granite mica rear lip drops to $310.

I wish I bought it earlier back when it was available and went for $168.

Guys, this was just discussed in a thread earlier today and is a repost of that exact conversation. The vendor responded and answered the question:

Please understand, the rear GFX lip in your color is discontinued. You mentioned this to me by phone, but I recall you asking if we had any more (???). For those items we do not have in stock nor cannot obtain any more, we declare those items as discontinued on our site. By marking at item as discontinued on our site, we feel this is our best way of communicating to those who see the part as it's simply not available. It's Discontinued.

Despite this, during your call I was able to manually substitute a different color rear GFX lip and accompanied it with our custom paint (performed by our Certified Lexus Body Shop) in 1G0. This added service for painted caused the price to change to the greater

Would you consider adding the following to the bottom to allow the all to see the realistic price of just $264.18 to CL members. The OP unfortunately never told me he was a CL member when we discussed the pricing of the rear lip by email.

Here's the image I'd like you to post along with the link to our site to minimize any further confusion:
