Thanks! Waiting for the dealership to get back to me. Lexus P/N 74231-24090-E0 for the tan saddle color passenger window switch panel. It took me a good while to find it in the illustrated parts catalog. You're right, still available and relatively inexpensive!

I saw it here...the passenger side is $27ish...wonder why it’s more expensive.

BTW...headlights look awesome!

Walked past her in the garage this morning as I left for work, she arrived on Sunday. Man she is gorgeous. Wife is PISSED though, it arrived on Mother's Day and she thought it was her present. I was considering getting one for her 40th in Jan, however this one came on the market in to good of condition. 2008 40K miles, no accidents, clean title, and under 20K. Nope, this thing is going to stay mint in my care.

PO replaced the DR lamp, so they have mismatched clarity.

Both sides beautiful and clear. Unfortunately there must be a broken seal on the PA side. Found a dead spider in there - but you have to be very very close to spot it.
You are driving what is clearly the best colour combination.

Trunk tetris from a couple of weeks ago, taking my son back to Toronto. When it's not full of roof, the trunk is actually quite spacious. Wide and deep, but not very high. Regardless, it took a few tries to get everything in there. And luckily it was a one-way trip, or I would have had to number everything as I took it out.

That makes me believe I could use the SC to make a Scotch/Wine run to Costco.

Roof up only, though. Ah, the sacrifices we must make....

The wine run is only 250 roundtrip however if I want Scotch and Wine it is 400 miles roundtrip.

I looked up this part number on Strongman's website and nothing came up. I also tried to look up the part by going through the make/model search boxes, and there was no SC430 under the Lexus make.

I don't need struts now, as I already replaced them once with OEM from Bell Lexus for $80-something each. Since they are part of the auto-top retraction gear, I didn't trust aftermarket. However, if others have had good luck with aftermarket and they are substantially cheaper, I would go that route next time.
