Wondering if there is a Lexus manufacturer's mandated time period within which to change spark plugs (sort of like the recommended mileage within which one does the timing belt/water pump)? I ask because I just had the LX in for its first post crash service and was told I should be thinking about this (USD$250). Given some of the threads I have seen here talking about changes my 50k miles don't seem to warrant this expense at the moment and I don't notice any performance reasons for doing so. My view is that it is a good a idea for Lexus Inc., less so for me.
