Do you mind taking a look at your paper instructions to see what the X ft/lbs of torque is required for the bolts? I think it is 37 ft/lbs but I can't confirm.

I plan on removing my F-Sport chassis brace sometime soon in order to repaint some of the areas that have been scrapped over the years.

I've attached my scan of the paper instructions for the rear chassis brace.

The 8 bolts are torqued to 19 N.m or 14 ft.lbf.

Back from the dead.

I've been looking into the Chassis Brace and the Lexus dealers on ebay state that the brace will require the removal of the plastic panels under the car for 09-10 RWD model years. Does anyone know if this is true? Call me crazy, but everything underneath is the same for all 2IS model years.

I just installed one on mine and it was necessary to remove.
