Cowl Vents, LX vs LC? (1 Viewer)

[tech_dog]

I've got a 2006 LX and I wanted to replace the cowl vents, but the Lexus part appears to be unavailable.

Does anyone know if there are differences between the LX part and the LC part?

LC parts are still available, listed here:

wouldn't surprise me if it's the same

Per parts.lexus.com and parts.toyota.com, yes they are the same part numbers for both LC and LX for all years, 98-07.

Interestingly, <55781-60110> was the original part number (RH side) and <55781-60130> was listed for "Cold Area Spec"

The Cold Area Spec now supersedes the original part number.... so everyone gets Cold Spec. The part that shows up should fit but be slightly different than your original. Post up the differences, if you see any.

I just pulled off my original right side cowl and the part is marked 55781-60130, so it looks like sunny Southern California lexus got the cold area spec from the start. I'm original owner on this 2006 LX, and it came from Japan to the Long Beach port before being sold in San Diego.

I went to several "discount OEM" sources and there seems to be confusion on the part numbers, but parts.lexus.com had it right. I ended up getting these new on eBay from a Dubia dealership for less than half price.

Does anyone need my old cowls, free to a mudder who can put them to use? They're perfectly functional, but show their age with the gray-black deterioration.
