£23.99 each from here:

Lexus IS300 Tailgate Struts | Boot Struts | Bonnet Gas Struts (sgs-engineering.com)

You need 2. They work perfectly.

(Don't worry that it says IS300 - they fit your car!)

Fitting is pretty simple - you just need to take out the boot light and the luggage hangers, then ease open the gap between the top lining and the edge of the metal.

Thank you for the information. How does the tailgate behave after these struts installed? Do they lift it a bit? My tailgate is flat and I literally raise it all the way up without any felt support.

Update - found this topic and the video made me believe it will solve my issue: https://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic/110883-2008-is250-boot-strut-part-number/#comment-986048

It works like it's supposed to - it lifts a bit when you operate boot release then you can lift it to fully open almost effortlessly.
