Thank you. A small, simple mod but definitely makes the car looks sexier.

I was looking in too RSR down spring or Fsport Spring with the Fsport intake as well. Don't know if I should keep it all Lexus or not yet. Hows the ride on the spring. Hows the sound from the intake?

.

Fsport springs feel just like stock and car looks great.




And here are the comparison sound clips. Fsport intake, JoeZ axle back VS Fsport intake, JoeZ and Invidia midpipe

Is it really only one screw holding in the brake pedal? Was it simple to remove?

Originally there was NOT any screw on the OEM foot brake pedal. However for the mod, you will need a screw. To remove the OEM rubber foot brake pedal, simply flip it from right to left.

This is the back of the OEM one

I paid $500 for the midpipe and $60 to a guy at Lexus dealer to do it. As for the diameter, I am not 100% sure but I think it's at least 2.5 inches.
