Default Air filters and wipers

Hello all, I'm new to this forum. A few months ago I bought a 2004 LS430 with the ultimate lux pkg. After driving the same Taurus for the last ten years, I welcome long family road trips.
I've been searching on line and I can't find the rear air purifier/filter or any of the 6 air filters in the seats. Do I have to go to the dealer for these filters?
Also, the wiper blades seem expensive, will I notice a difference if I just use the same 24" wiper on my Taurus?
I don't know how this compares with others but I bought the car for 38K with 39K miles. It is cpo and I got a 3 year warr which I upgraded to 6 years for another $1650. The dealer also gave me 3.99% financing. I later added the dual dvd headset players and that roadblock polymer protection stuff.
Thanks,
Kooner.

First, welcome to the Club. Second, contact Sewell Lexus for parts and accessories. Use our discount code (CL911M) when ordering from Sewell. You can call them directly @ 1-888-909-6633 to expedite the process, if you don't want to order online.

It's all spell out where and how to locate the filters in the owner manual. if your car did not come with the owner manual, you can order it from lexus.com for free.

Got these new Bosch wipers at the auto parts store, they're the most expensive you can buy at @$18 per blade but let me tell you they are worth it, they work great and last WAY longer than all the other crap on the shelf.
