Default Cost to Install a F-Sport Intake

I'm just wondering what the cost is to install this type of intake. Dealership? Private Company? Myself?

Also does the installer need to remove the front bumper to install?


thanks, sorry for being such a noob.

Definitely do the install yourself, go to sewell lexus parts onlines and they'll have a PDF of the install. It's very straight forward and quite simple. You don't need to remove the front bumper at all.

A dealership is going to take 1-2 hours max and charge like $100+ an hour. A reputable shop will take about an hour and charge $80 or so.

It will cost you 30-45 minutes of your time. This is about as easy as it gets if you follow the directions.

Do it yourself it'll take you 10 minutes, the only covers u need to take off are the 3 covers and the top engine cover under the hood. not the bumper cover. i thought there was a DIY on the forums but i guess there isn't cuz i can't find it haha. its really simple to do so just go for it man, u honestly can't really screw anything up... easily anyway the dealer will charge a full hour of labor to install it also, probably around 80-100 bucks

my installation cost is $0 coz I did it myself, the most challenging part would be tightening up the upper and lower part of the intake box

yeah DIY. the longest part of the install is taking off and putting on the plastic covers all over the engine bay and taking off the engine cover without breaking those little rubber hole(which i did already)

It's very easy to do. I reccomend to DIY, but if you don't wanna get your hands dirty we charge $89 to install.

Just did the install a few weeks ago. Took my time and spent just over an hour. The hardest part was the clips and clamping it down with the Fsport filter. But after you figure that out, it's pretty straightforward.
