They should not care about your f-sport installed parts.

However, any heavily modded Lexus will get turned down by SOME dealerships for liability issues. (Lexus in Jacksonville, FL will).

It depends dealership to dealership. But for f-sport parts, it should not matter, they practically come from Lexus themselves.

they care cause the aftermarket parts can get confused with factory parts/specs and then the repair gets faulty...for example my retard dealer put wrong lugnuts on my aftermarket wheels which led to a wheel/bolt failing and me losing total control of vehicle and crashing...who is to blame? I blamed dealer for installng wrong lug bolts...and I won...dealer put on factory lugs while my rims required specific aftermarket of different design...they didnt know and caused me an almost fatal crash that could of injured many.
