Natnut 3rd Gear November 8, 2019 Share November 8, 2019 Went to HEVshop as suggested to check out the high FC of my GS450h. They did a computer check for 120 and claimed the transmission fluid was due for change and charged me additional 120 to change it. No improvement to my FC. Went back to them and now they say they need to check my spark plugs but have to charge me additional 150 for hardware check. Previous check was software check and that was 120. Got a little fed up and went off to think and ask you guys for advice. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JX83 3rd Gear November 15, 2019 Share November 15, 2019 (edited) I took the plunge and ordered through Prime Ezbuy for the aftermarket Fsport bumper with grille. I would said quality wise is good, fitment is 9/10. Bought it at about $860+ including shipping & delivered, spray and installed about $260 and eventually had to go another workshop to fix up the gap of both side for $100 so I would said still worth it. Still a fair amount of savings compare from getting the original one. Edited November 15, 2019 by JX83 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any mesh that covers the 2 holes near the spindle? Where the 2 arrows are. heres mine before and after. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoldjaffa Hypersonic November 16, 2019 Share November 16, 2019 The license plate holder is different also. You need to get the F Sport Bracket if it doesn’t come with your kit. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any bro here purchased UX250h recently? Can pm me ur deal details? Thanks! Usually 30k diff between list (website; pricelist) and actual transaction price. Another way is to go and check the onemotoring list of car basic cost to find out the total cost including COE for the model you are looking at, add 30-40k for their margin and this should be their real price. For UX250h exec, the total basic cost is approx 125k with yesterday's COE, so probably they will ask for around 155k.

Shadow6447 Clutched December 8, 2019 Share December 8, 2019 For those who want to improve their cars' air intake can consider replacing the stock air filter with washable K&N air filter. Can go to K&N website for more details. I've recently bought an extra one (33-2452) for a friend who doesn't need it anymore. Anyone interested can PM me. Just want to recover my cost. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
