Replacement engine cover, CRAZY OVER-PRICED!!
I painted my engine cover, and it didn't turn out the way I had planned, so instead of stripping it, I thought I would just buy a new one. But I called the dealer and he said that they are $250!!! For some injection molded plastic and foam underneath...rediculous...looks like I'll be strippin' some paint!!
$250 is actually reasonable.
I was actually expecting $500.
Some people scratched the wood console, and replacing that is about $1200. If you crack the nav screen, it's $6000.
The price of luxury...

Lexus is Toyota.
IF you think about this way...
Yaris @ 103 HP for $13k
IS350 @ 310 HP for $39k
There is the 3x factor on both horse power and dollar spent.
SO I SAY LEXUS IS ONLY A REGULAR TOYOTA.
Back to the topic, I was thinking about $300 for that cover. Not too bad @ $250.

That would mean that the IS-F would be about $52,800, right? Somehow that seems a little on the cheap side.
