Seems like a lot of money for a little piece of carbon fiber. I understand the r&d that goes in it but man..

Agreed. Also if you look at the RR racing website the datalog control is off. It starts the stock at 6453 RPM and their heat shield at ~2000. Not sure why they didn't make their control variables equal. Seems skewed to me.

Doesn't make sense

Its the 3rd horn that beeps when we lock our doors twice..

It also makes the OEM alarm horn sounds louder when activated..

Yes i did research and noticed, but mine is no where to be seen.
I've also seen other GSF's that don't have it where they should be.

Interesting, just got off the phone with Lexus here. We have 2 horns in front of the radiator.
Can you guys confirm if you have 2 horns or 1 in front of your radiators?

We all have 2 inside the Front Bumper: 1 Hi & 1 Lo

As mentioned the 3rd is used in addition for the Alarm system.
