Default Dealership service quote for Air intake and grill surround

I got the color matched grill surround for my Ultra White for Xmas and the F-Sport air take for my birthday a few weeks later.

I 'might' have been able to do the intake myself but I have zero interest in taking my bumper off for the grill surround.

So…called Lexus today to try and get them to do it all at my next oil change.

They quoted $495 to do both….what do you guys think?

The intake will take you 20 min to install if you're slow. The grill surround on the other hand is a task to take apart.

I'd do the intake by myself if I were you then take the grill surround to a local body shop for a quote.

I had the grill surround installed by my local dealer for $240. Like others have said, I would install the intake yourself and search for prices on the grill surround install. Good luck!

Thanks for posting. I've never seen that before. I'd definitely like to see it on some other cars.

I need an oil change and inspection done before the month is over and i haven't seen ONE single photo of the UW with UW surround yet, so we will see how it looks.
