Looking for recommendations in / around Sydney for a towbar for a 2016 GS 350

Welcome - looks good

Looking for recommendations for independent service centres in Western / North Western Sydney. Did a bit of a service and found that 2 recommended options: https://www.tnkautomotive.com.au/ https://www.omegaautomotive.com.au/lexus-service/ Anyone had any recent experience with either of them or recommend someone else?

Thanks 2bling but I need to find a stockist that has actually fitted one to a IS350. Hayman Reece make them for a IS250 (both pre and post 2013) but do not specify that they fit a IS350 (even though we know they are the same body). Because it is not specified for a IS350 the 1/2 dozen fitters I rang said that they would not risk fitting it as it is not actually specified for a IS350 only an IS250.

Has anyone had a non std Lexus towbar fitted to a 2014 IS350F? If so where? Hayman Reece make one for a 07/2017 onwards IS250 but I cannot find a Sydney stockist who has fitted one to an IS350 (and no one wants to take the chance).

this may help a bit http://au.lexusownersclub.com/forums/topic/9589-model-range/?hl=%2Bmodel+%2Brange

The dealer i went to recommended that you program them in as points of interest (or something like that) - I think u can program in about 100. Not worth it !!

Anyway i have been to a few dealerships and the best i have been able to find is a 'new' 2011 build is350 which has been offered to me at 60k which i think is a bit much, i have also been offered a used is350 with 22k on the clock for 52k. These sound like good deals to me. Do u have a trade? Can u PM me the dealer/s that you spoke to??

Hi Michael, Any update on the replacement harness so that we can install it on the 2010 IS models and later?

I know this is not for a Manual (MT??) but first time I had seen for a right hand drive http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110820456459&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:AU:1123

Mate of mine uses Lexus's in his Hire Car Business. He has used Lexus of Chatswood for paint repairs and cannot recommend them highly enough - he absolutely loves his cars and would not go to anyone who was not good.

Love the grill. Looks like they do some good work - I like the interior on one of the BM's in their gallery. I tried to do some of this type of work on one of my bikes - turned out ok but certainly no where as good as the bike in the gallery.

Try this: http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/lexus-is%20f-2008-11936602?cr=7&eapi=2&page=1&silo=Stock&sort=~Price&Range=Price:Min,Max~1&__N=1216

Checked out the pictures on Carsales. Different but not to my taste but as you say each to their own:

Yep - have them on my 2010 Prestige - bolt straight on and plenty of room

You make a good point. I wish I had visited the site before I purchased my IS250 - in hindsight with the info I have found I would have probably gone for the IS 350. Overall happy with the 250 but the next one will be a 350 or an F.

Tried this on my 2010 IS250 this morning - worked a treat. Thanks for the tip :) :) Only problem was 1st time I let go of the button before everything was fully closed - quickly learn't to hold the button down it it is all locked !!! :) :)

Hi Malibu, sorry to be a pain but approx how much did they charge??

What dealer did the mod for you??
