Greetings all, I'm trying to locate a supplier of a dashmat for my new-to-me 2011 IS250 F Sport. Lexus of Perth have told me they were never sold as a factory accessory due to possible interference with the passenger airbag operation. Fair enough, but it seems I can get an aftermarket dashmat for just about every other car. Can anyone steer me in the direction of a seller? I've trawled the net with no success. Thanks.

Greetings all, During my trawling of the net this topic seems to come up regularly, but the posts are typically very old. I'm trying to find a set of 4 mudflaps for my 2011 IS250 F Sport. Preferably OEM or at least aftermarket made specifically to fit the IS250. I rang Lexus of Perth and their response was they never existed, which I find very hard to believe. I know generic mudflaps exist, like these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Molded-Splash-Guards-Mud-Flaps-For-For-2008-2013-Lexus-IS250-4pcs-/141793686299?fits=Make%3ALexus%7CModel%3AIS250&hash=item21038ff31b:g:f6QAAOSwuTxV7lvG&vxp=mtr#vi-ilComp even though they are listed as model specific. Can anyone steer me in the direction of a vendor, either local or overseas? Thanks.

Greetings all on my first Lexus forum post.... I've just purchased a genuine (Toyota) oil filter for my new-to-me 2011 IS250 F Sport. It came with the paper element and a large O-ring. Some vendors on eBay show an additional white plastic fitting like this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/K-N-OIL-FILTER-PRO-SE-PS-7023-fits-LEXUS-IS-250-GSE20-350-/161759964647?fits=Model%3AIS250&hash=item25a9a52de7:g:r6QAAOSwKIpV-9mk What is the purpose of this thing? Is it critical for an oil change or just easier? Also, I've found this special oil filter housing removal tool on eBay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/TOYOTA-CARTRIDGE-OIL-FILTER-REMOVAL-TOOL-6-Cyl-models-camry-lexus-/252049633915?hash=item3aaf54327b:g:xv8AAOSwjVVVxH2l Is this tool necessary to remove the oil filter housing, or does it just make life a bit easier? Thanks.
