Thanks for the support everyone! I emailed the pics to Lexus customer service. Hopefully they respond back today.

I threw quite a fit when they denied me warranty on the first side that went. And corporate replaced it. When the other side went in 2 more months they just did it quickly and quietly

^^ With approx. over 10,000 IS-F's sold world wide.. I can't see it being a wide spread problem...

Looks to just pop up (or off) every once in a while on someone's IS-F..

Is Lexus at fault ??
Well they need to go back to the manufacturer of the tips and BEEF UP those spot welds..
Like some strong TIG welding and in more areas to lock them down...

Just my opinion..

I can just imagine the tip falling off of a freeway while you're running 65 mph and whoever's following, hopefully won't get hit by this/ese tip(s).

Supposedly Lexus corp. will be calling me in the next few business days to talk about this issue. We'll see how it goes!
