Default How many hour for install these F-Sport Kits

I had received the F-Sport BBK F&R , F-Sport 18" Wheel Sets , F-Sport Sway-Bar Set , F-Sport Under Chassis Member Brace , F-Sport Carbon Fiber Engine Cover , and F-Sport Lowering Spring last week and plan to install them by local Lexus Dealer service next weekday.

So, I need some estimated install hour for these kits for appointment and book the time.

I don't understand why you need to know the estimated hours of install for these parts. If some shop is installing them just tell them what you want done and they'll tell you.

Here's a breakdown IMO:

1. F-Sport BBK - 2.5hrs with bleeding
2. Wheels - 15mins
3. Sways - 1hr
4. Brace - 10mins
5. CF Cover - 2seconds
6. Springs - 2-3hrs depending if you have a machine or doing it by hand.

(Lowering 1" by F-Sport Spring and run by F-Sport 18" Wheel Set with 225/40/R18)

At here Bangkok, Thailand. These accessory are not available in local store. So, they may not know the actually install time.

I may need to know because I can plan how many day that I will not have a car for daily use. "_"

do you honestly need the dealer to change the engine cover? just pop out the stock one and pop in the carbon fiber one. No tools required. It can all be done in 1 day. 2 days Max.

Thanks. So, they can finish them within 1 day. Then I can leave my car on 8 a.m. and pick up at 5 p.m.

I bought these accessory from Sewell promotion and some from LexusWestminister. Then shipping oversea by forwarding agent. So, there will be only my car who full F-Sport line Equip in TH.

Yes but two supplier (Sewell and LexusWestminister)
F-Sport Sway-Bar, Under Chassis , and Spring with WestMinister.
F-Sport BBK, Wheel , and CF Cover with Sewell.

They offer the promotion discount in this period. So, I may need to order all and import them in once will save my cost than seperate order.

These set of accessory make me spend a lot of saving budget in this month.

Yes, this is the reason that I need some information of real install time for comment with service if they can't finish it in time.

At here, Lexus very concentrate with their service. Last time, I just evaluate their work of cleaning car after maintain 10,000 KM with 2 point out of 5 point. The manager of branch had make a call to me. Very joke. Better service than BMW and Mercedes Benz.

The reason may because the Toyota Motor Thailand charge the premium price from Lexus customer. So, they must pursuit the perfection.

Lexus IS250 RWD Premium Package with MoonRoof / MarkLevinson run around $100,000

With this budget you can get the ISF and left other $30,000 - $40,000 for fuel. The tariff of import new car was 300%
