Everyone thanks so much! This might be redundant but Sikky headers and Joe-Z exhaust or the PPE headers???? Lol.
PPE and Joe Z is an excellent combo. PPE quality is top notch, I've seen both in person. Just get them installed right.

Should I ask them to specifically look into that?
Thanks!
It is easily missed as you can't see it. Once you bring your car in for the fuel rail recall they will see the leak.

I heard about a water pump recall on the 08 and now the fuel rail... But when I search my vin the only thing that comes up is a cooling fan?? Is this something where I should just contact the dealer?

Thanks

There isn't a recall on the water pump (although there should be since every freaking one likely has it) and the cooling fan and fuel sensor gasket should be open unless your car doesn't qualify for the sensor gasket one for some reason.

Hm... I'm note sure, I used the Toyota vin search. I'm going to call up there and see what they tell me.
Love owning a Lexus, cars are great, people are great.....

Thanks everyone.

Don't forget to swap over your front wheels per my original post.

Yes! Thank you, I haven't even been able to look at them yet to see what you meant. I'm getting off from work now though!
Thanks again.

I concur with this statement.
I'm going on a year with mine but am so hooked on the sound I don't think I'll be going the H/E route.
Congrats on your excellent automobile.

Just returning the favour after someone here was kind enough to point out mine were on wrong!

Don't think tire shops appreciate our rims are directional.

To the op, you'll see there are flat blades and then a ridge on each spoke. These should match front and back.

Yours don't at the moment.

Should be ridge/flat as with the rears. Your fronts just need swapping round (passenger front on drivers side, drivers front on passenger side).

Hope that makes sense.
