I received my two masts from Sewell today. They're both new in bags. I hope to get to pulling out my old one Friday. Anyone have a picture of their old SC antenna. I'm not sure why you'd have one but it can't hurt to ask.

Sewell Lexus has the best shipping prices on the planet. Yes, one part hits a minimum of around $7 - blame UPS. I recently purchased four, chrome, SUV, wheels from Sewell and the shipping was $20, that's $20 for all four wheels!! This is typical for Sewell not the exception. Oh, and the wheels were only $100 each. Sweet! They're the best.

When you go shopping @ Sewell you have to buy other stuff, then you get a very good deal on shipping. I usually add maintenance stuff like air filters, cabin filters, oil filters, etc. Then it becomes a very good deal.
I can not complain. In fact I am thankful we have a Sewell around. When they screw up, they are on it pretty quickly. How's that for customer satisfaction? I rate them a 10 out of 10! JM2C.

Ugh, I hate to be the bearer of bad news. 
They don't fit. They're about 1.5" too long. I think our best bet is to eBay them for 1990-1992 LS400's. They might fetch enough to make up our loss. Please don't blame me, I said I was never sure they would fit. For me, though, it was worth the try. Regards!
By the way, it's no fun getting your old antenna cable back into the motor. It has taken a hard set and forms quite a tight spiral and doesn't want to feed deep enough to catch in the gears. I was able to straighten mine out just enough and coax it into the mechanism to get it to catch. All is good.
