The feel good machine

Even though work is no fun any more, due to the economy, there is one thing that really makes my day :D The ride to the office. Like this morning when the sun is shining out of a clear blue sky. Since the holliday season has started the traffic is not so bad. When I arrive in to town I can smell the...

Hey!
As long as you keep the stock airfilter you´l be fine.

That is the Lexus, and it is the same shape as the original and fits like a glow. The bolts are a bit short tough, but the fit all the same.

Good luck!
