Default how much does dealer charge installing f-sport intake

in want it to have dealer installed since it's an engine component, don't wanna mess with warranty. does dealer even install for you if you buy the f-sport part elsewhere? if so how much will they charge, it shouldn't be longer than an one hour job right?

Do it yourself.


It's a tube and a pipe, unless you accidentally rip out some wiring during some crazy muscle spasm during install it's impossible for it to cause any issues.

Once installed correctly there's simply no 'warranty issue' it could possibly cause.

i have about $150 credit in my Lexus visa card which i got from applying the card. may as well use it on labor instead of parts since sewell is much cheaper.

DIY save the $150 for a 5min job that a 10yr old girl can do.

Use the $150 for a brake fluid/oil change at 30k, or spark plugs at 60k... jobs that you actually need to spend some time on or actually get dirty doing.

This is incredibly easy.

they gave you $150 credit just for applying for the visa? or are those points that you have accumulated?

Don't waste the credit, guy... Really, anybody can change an intake... Takes literally less then 10 mins, even for the least experienced... That's just burning money! LOL

You can put it toward 1 of the F sport parts that you want from the dealership, basically like 150 off lol. Or you can rock some Lexus socks!!
