EDITED; I just checked The FedEx site. It's FedEx Home Delivery (ground) that has Saturdays as a standard delivery date.

For whatever reason, it didn't arrive yesterday. It is Fedex Air for sure since it took only 2 days to get here from Japan.
Just checked Fedex tracking again, still says delivery is next Monday.

Tried to test mount mine today, but the 14mm nuts are either impacted in or there's some thread locker on it. I'm taking it to the shop I use to have it mounted after they fix that darn oil leak.
Got any pics SlvBullet??

I received my strut bar today after work and installed it in 15 mins.
It fits well and doesn't rub engine cover. I will drive a while and check if it rubs the hood lining. So far no rubbing anywhere.
I couldn't wait and took the car out for a spin. The immediate feel is the front end is tighter as well as the steering (feels closer to my BMW but not quite). On the road, sharp turns are more controlled. On road irregularities the front end is more stable (not wandering like before) and the whole car feels tighter on the freeway.
The only downside, if you will, is you feel the road imperfections more through the car and the steering wheel in particular. I personally like it, though you trade off some typical Lexus smoothness/looseness.
Overall, it is very worth $220 IMO.
