Anyone who is smart enough and even a bit of car enthusiast would know that first place to look for deals is "clublexus"

Speaking of F-Sport products. Right before leaving work(I work in the dispatch/booking office), a customer brought in a matador red IS250 to install F-Sport front and rear springs, and intake. The labor hours were pre-determined by the shop foreman to be 9.8 hours with alignment included! Looking forward to seeing what the final product looks like.

I wish I knew, it's a first I've seen for any F-Sport product install. I only dispatch/book the Repair Orders to/from the techs and I was happily surprised to see the Repair Order. I dispatched it to our most experienced tech, so it will be in good hands. I would have jumped on it myself as well. =)
Thanks!

It's what we call Dealer Mark up...
But why the hell would they mark up these parts so much on an IS250 is beyond me....??
At most they should be charging the MSRP List price for the parts..
Looks like they are overcharging for them, to cover the SUPER HIGH LABOR fees that went to installing all these accesories...
Reminds me of the $1,500 I-Pod Inegration kit installed on the IS-F in the Glendale Lexus showroom...
The ONLY upside to this, is that the buyer will receive the full 4yr/50K miles on all these parts installed on the Brand New Car..
