So we've had the GS for a few weeks now. It was really warm here in KY last weekend. I noticed the air wasn't blowing very well. And since I needed to replace the cabin filter in our IS 300 I bought one for the GS as well. I figured I would check it out. Needless to say we were both floored!

I sent those pictures to everyone who is anyone at the dealership we got the car from. For 2 different reasons. One to let the dealership know that this happened. The 2nd reason is that hopefully they will check and replace if needed. I am sure I am 1 of the few that actually performs any type of service compared to most Lexus buyers. So most people wouldn't have even known, simply took it back to them. They were great about it and offered to pay me back for the filter and my time or other service.
All cleaned up -

Engine air filter is good. Now I have to decide if I want to spend the money on the K&N typhoon CAI, the full Fsport intake or just put a K&N filter in the stock box. I've got a full Airraid intake on my F150 and I love it.

I've thought that. But I figure I'll wait and hope its gone. No telling where it could have been. There aren't any smells in the car, so I hope it left and never came back. I didn't want to tell Leslie about it, I think she has forgotten about it... For now atleast!

And thats typical until something finds its way in the duct work and lives in there for awhile. Its not uncommon for something like this to happen. My chevelle has sat in the garage for close to a year now. I highly doubt anything is living in it, but there is that chance!
