How much does the Lexus dealership in Cali charge for Ltuned products? Lexus of Tampabay is outrageous on all of their Ltuned products even the steering ecu. They wanted 8 thousand for a complete Ltuned package on a new GS300!! I want to get a Ltuned suspension, reconfigured steering ecu, and an exhaust. I visited the Ltuned website and saw their prices which were way under the dealers and I know the dealer has to get some kinda of break on that stuff. So if anyone can give me a ball park of about how much I can expect to pay for those three things I'd appreciate it.

You'll see other postings that refer to Carson Toyoya in CA. They sell for under list.

I'm in Tampa Florida the money I'll save on getting stuff from California would be lost in shipping.

yeah usually steve's prices already include shipping, and he uses UPS ground, so its not nearly going to add up to the close to $8g price you got from you crazy dealer !

Steve's prices don't actually include shipping, but the shipping costs are very low.

Chino - remember you're not paying sales tax either, so the savings are significant.

Shipping costs for sway bars were only $30 I think and those things weigh a LOT.

I had to shop around quite a bit here in the Chicago area. Some of the dealers "don't sell l-tuned" and others wanted outrageous prices for the installation ($200 for the ECU install).

I ended up with a Lexus dealer that prices parts at list and installs them for a very reasonable price.

If you are in WA, don't bother with the dealerships here for aftermarket L-Tuned. There is a silver GS-430 on the show room floor with the package going for $10K installed - what a rip-off.

I've seen a Stage II GS430 on the sales floor of one of the dealers in Atlanta for some rediculous number. Hey, if someone is silly enough to pay it they'll take his money.

But if you talk to the service writers at the other dealer (Hennessey) they are very reasonable about pricing L-Tuned components.
