Thinking seriously about installing a Tanabe strut bar in my new RC350 FSport- only install thing I am concerned about is the fact that both dust covers over the suspension towers must be permanently removed for the life of the install.

Any feedback from members that might advise against such a removal?

A member in another Lexus forum installed this and said the units are sealed. Here is his install pic.

The units are sealed but the connector is not. What I just did is put Black silicone RTV at the back side of each connector to seal off the side that would be normally exposed. Once the connector is inserted then it will become somewhat water tight.
