Those words MIGHT lead one to believe you learned the lesson the first time.
Considering there no mention of purchasing them.....just wondering how these would be with my fellow clublexus. That might is rendered moot.

Save $100 for potentially knock offs. Messaged him, he says they are OEM. But.....ebay...lol
Just took delivery of engine and trans mounts from the same seller. They are definitely genuine parts. Packaging matches parts I've purchase from dealerships.

Wow since this started the guy sold all 8 he had listed. Now has 0 available so that might be what he was selling in his Amazon ad also.
That's what happens if ya wait too long.

Actually the guy took off his Amazon ad but now some being sold by "Genuine Parts Planet".

Be careful with that guy. The pictures show the part # different on the part and on the label.

SoCalUCF20; Does the parts you received have the # on the parts?

EDIT: And also have "Japan" stamped on the part?

I will admit this: I have mostly used aftermarket parts. If I was to want a true Lexus part I would only buy from the dealer. All these places online could just be buying the plastic bags for the parts, print up the labels to look like a Toyota label (but not exactly), stamp Japan on the label so it looks real and buy a whole bunch of these https://zhijie.en.made-in-china.com/...361-50021.html for less then $10, which have the Lexus part # on it but made in China, and then sell them for $90.

Some of those labels I've seen have "Japan" stamped on them, and some have Japan printed. Some say Toyota genuine part, and some say Toyota genuine part and Lexus genuine part on the same label. For most people they look legit and would be confusing unless looking at 2 labels at the same time to compare them.

The amount of deceptive products out there makes buying hard. For the peace of mind buying from the Lexus/Toyota dealerships online parts dept is a sure and safe bet for getting a true product. Yeah it costs $ but you don't worry about whether it is a genuine Toyota part. After all this the car is ready for the next 200K miles.
