I think it is great Lexus is FINALLY offering "F-Sport" (saki name). The only item that really has my interest is the X brace. Let's just see how much $$ Lexus will charge for this stuff.
BTW.... Joe Z deserves royalties!! Lexus is using the Joe Z intake. IMHO, I'd rather say, "Joe Z intake" as opposed to "F-Sport intake". "Joe Z sounds sexy-cool, "F-Sport", well, you know. Besides, the Joe Z intake will likley be 1/3rd the price of the F-Sport and just as good, if not better, quality.

most aftermarket intakes dont preserve the OEM airbox which takes air from outside the engine bay, OEM airbox + Joe Z is an improvement but the OEM airbox still has restriction to keep the noise down. F-Sport intake seems to have a less restrictive airbox + the JoeZ type pipe so it took care of two things. Plus I dont want those cone filters with a pipe one end for my car. That worked fine for the honda I used to have, but I dont want to do it to a lexus

with the less restrictive airbox you can probably get more gains than just JoeZ and OEM airbox alone. One reason Im interested in the F-Sport intake, I want to preserve the OEM "look" as much as I can. Hopefully a group buy comes out when these do come out (march?)

Sorry, but I'm completely unimpressed. All show. Not a single GO part. Exhausts and intakes are lame, and everyone at Toyota and TRD knows it. 20+ years of TRD USA and they still can't hold a candle to Comptech. They suck.
BTW - Comptech doesn't have a spoon feed from Honda these days. TRD has access to EVERYTHING, but won't deliver.
