Default F-sport engine cover and Air Intake

Purchased these from one of our member. Actually, Lexus of Cherry Hill. Got it yesterday and installed it today. I was looking for a good deal of the air intake and the next thing I know its combo buy with the engine cover.

But, I'm kind of disappointed with the air intake without the blue air filter on it. Will contact the seller about it. Overall, I'm HAPPY with my purchased.

Looks good and even better with the brace. I'd contact them too cause otherwise it isn't getting you any better air flow.

He did notch out his side covers, I'm posting a pic of my car with carbon covers and no sides as an option.

to the op, I suggest getting a carbon radiator cover to match.

I had most of the braces you can buy minus the trunk one and I'd say that coils and sways are probably the most significant. I did it more for show points.

What do you mean by this? The one you have looks like the normal FSport intake. Do you mean it didn't come with the reusable filter, or were you sold just the tube without the lower housing and filter??

Mine came with the tube, filter and lower housing. The upper part of the intake box remained the same in my '06 350.
