As I stood there in the Toyota parts store (Capital Toyota and Lexus of Chattanooga are owned by the same guy and split a lot) I asked the guy "are there any Totoya specific hoses that would work?" He went to the back and came out with a hose almost identical and said to hold them both and take a look.
The Toyota vehicle specific hoses were double layer high strength hoses that looked fine, but after holding the Lexus vehicle specific hose the differences were obvious. The Lexus specific hoses were TRIPLE layered hoses that had more threads per inch wrapped into them.
Even though Toyota makes them both, Lexus specific parts are BEEFY and very strong. There is an immediate difference noticed when they are side by side.
So yes, it is indeed correct to say "Lexus parts are better than Toyota parts" because the Toyota built LEXUS specific parts are overbuilt and very beefy.
Even a stupid little 6 inch hose.
PS- nice wind deflectors

Now if you want to talk about "stupid is, is stupid does"...who in their right mind goes to a car meet and pops their hood on a stock car? Like we don't know what a stock engine looks like...
I'm done, some people just don't know any better...

hey groovin would you mind taking a pic of the car with the window rolled up except for about an inch. i want to see if it leaves any kind of opening down by the mirrors. it looks like the visor will cover the top part of the window no problem but im having my doubts about the front part near the mirror.

I need to see them in person to know for sure though
Pat, we need to hook up so I can peep these...I don't really have a need for them but after seeing groovin's car I want to see the deflectors in person. (I hope it's not the Bride's that make the wind deflectors look better to me, lol, 'cause that's a possibility)
