F sport Cold Air Intake -
Can i buy this part from the dealership and just take it home and install it myself?
I would order from Sewell, but what would be the point if i can simply get it right now from the dealership.

One of the dealerships here in San Diego is selling the intake for $455, which is the same price i see on Sewell. I think i will get it at the dealership because im really excited to get this installed on my car asap!
Saw the instructions and looks like even a 10 year old can do it, no way im paying $160 for installation!

I heard a lot of bad reviews about Kearny Mesa Lexus about their service, but that wasnt worrying me since i only planned on buying parts there, i got my car from Longo originally.
But they did offer me the F sport for $455 + $168 for installation + tax.

There's a clublexus discount? how does that work? how long does shipping usually take if ordered from Sewell?

im excited to install this myself though, it will be my first mod so the fact that they are offering free installation doesnt matter to me, i want to start gaining that modding experience. good time to start with a simple intake.
also, its not a 'cold air' intake? how come its advertised as such? does it matter that its not?

I would so order from sewell, however in the area i live, packages that get delivered here always end up somewhere. ive received other peoples packages and others have received my packages so i dont even want that shipping issue that seems to be the case in this area. picking up the part personally from the dealer would alleviate a lot of my concerns. the extra cost is okay with me if its about convenience.

No company makes a true cold air intake for our cars because that would require drilling through metal to get the pipes to reach towards to bottom of the car.
The Fsport and JoeZ intakes are the only ones that gain 5hp guaranteed but they are very quiet. All others may gain or lose you ~5hp but are louder due to the open filter design. It depends on what your looking for. You cant feel 5hp so I decided to go with a louder intake. Its up to you.
Why is it advertised as such? To be honest, I dont know

just picked up the f sport intake and was wondering whats to be included in this kit?
i received the pipe, the air box and the filter. but i didnt receive a CARB sticker, they said it was not necessary since it is a Lexus certified part....hmmmm.
also there are no brackets or any misc parts, is anything missing in this kit that should be included?
