Parts are on..well some of them....I don't want to spoil where the car is going to debut with a couple of the JDM parts but its going to be quite the bang with some truly amazing photography and scenery.
Lexus love it so far. Maybe one day Club Lexus would post it. It has been posted on the Lexus Facebook page the last two Friday's

I took the LS in for its first service at JM Lexus. They were incredible to deal with and got everything done right away. One thing odd was somehow the levy to open the trunk broke off. Really odd and I could only figure someone from a valet service mess with it possibly? It was fixed under warranty.
So far I'm averaging around 15.5 MPG which is expected and a throwback for me going back to a V-8 She stays thirsty! I can get 23/24 MPG on the highway as advertised which is good. I did drive an ES 300h recently and getting near 40MPG was awesome but I could not begin to trade cars.
One other thing now perplexing me is I have a 2014 GX 460 to do a review on and it has a birds eye/3D view and its a 2014. MY LS does not have it and it looks so much better in the GX. I'm confused here. The other thing is I clearly saw the "crafted by Lexus" LS so now I have to figure out do I make that move and if I did, would I do white or black. I am not a huge fan of the black gloss accents on the white car and it would be a PITA to switch it. Plus black/red seems sinister.
She's been parked for a couple of weeks now and I went to the car to retrieve something and it still smelled new and I missed her big *** Don't tell my wife.
In regards to Jr, he is well and just a joy to deal with, even when cranky. I've never been so busy, tired, happy all in one in my life lol. My wife has been amazing and watching her transition into motherhood is also a joy. We have been truly fortunate to have so many supportive friends and family and co-workers and it has made our transformation that much easier
Here is a quick pic I snapped of the LS with a couple new pieces...that is a JDM Skipper Carbon Fiber lip. To me it really accents the front grill/front end and frames the front exactly how I wanted.
I'll be shooting a full video soon enough.

Congrats on the baby. Very cool. Just became a grandpa myself and bought my wife a "new"(50k) IS350C. But oh boy that car of yours is sweet. Wow. Congrats on a nice ride!

May I make a suggestion? Trade your GS350 F-Sport for the GS450h F-Sport when it arrives in the US. The GS450h solves the low down torque deficiency of the 350 engine while giving up little in terms of outright handling on normal roads or even winding roads. That was my personal experience when I test drove both the GS450h F-Sport and the GS350 F-Sport. I'm sure I don't have to sell you on the sheer luxury of the locomotive like acceleration of a performance Lexus Hybrid powertrain ( your 3rd Gen GS450h is a legend on this forum). The passing and overtaking ability of the GS450h makes it seem like a car 100-150hp more powerful.
