Default F-Sport PROMOTION this year? Anyone Know?

It seems like there is a promotion every year to get a discount on F-Sport parts, but I haven't seen anything for 2011 yet.

Does anyone know if/when one will start?

I've completed the F-Sport Intake, Exhaust, Sways, Springs, and Shocks. I'm looking at the F-Sport '11 Bumper next, but that thing is expensive.

A certain lovely spouse of mine was kind enough to scrape the paint off the side of my current bumper. No worries; she's awesome, and it's her car, too. But, this might be a good reason to upgrade. :-)

I ran out of F sport things to buy. Well, except for the chassis brace but I don't need it. I never drive my car period let alone track it.

It's not too loud to where it's annoying. It's rather quiet until you really step on the gas. I like it!

In my experience, Sewell always has better prices than dealers no matter what promotions Lexus is running. For example, when I was looking into sways earlier this year, dealers had them "marked down" by 20% or something like that as an F-Sport parts sale, however Sewell's price on the sways was still hundreds of dollars less than the dealer's "sale" price.

FYI LexTuners (a vendor here) will also match Sewell prices. It's good for those of us who are nearby and don't want to wait for shipping. Plus we get to see/feel/touch before we take it home.

^^^ That depends...

It costs like $7.00 to ship 2 decals (F-Sport Carb Legal) stickers on top of the decal costs for Sewell.

LexTuner sent them to me without charging me shipping. They are pretty awesome Even though, I can drive like 10 minutes to pick them up.

On Topic : I thought the sale was around July. I remember buying my car in end of June and then the sale started recently. It's like Lexus wanted me to spend more money on top of me car

Sounds like I need to wait until July, then. If they don't launch the event, no big deal. I'll just have to drive around with some paint damage for a while. Thanks for your help, everyone.
