I was told that was the GPS antenna. I have the pano with the sharkfin mounted on the glass, along with the antenna on the trunk.

I also have the UL with a panoramic/glass roof and it has the shark fin on the roof and the other antenna on the trunk.

That is odd... My assumptions about the shark's were evidently wrong. Mine is a 02/2015 build. I wonder if that had anything to do with it...

Nice car, congrats! Wrong forum, though.

Took possession 3 days ago of a 2015 ES 350 in Nebula Gray Pearl. Previously owned Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, BMW 328i, and MB E320. So far so good and I think I really am going to like this car.

Default Introduction

Hi, everyone. I just purchased my first Lexus on Monday, an L-certified 2015 ES 300h, in Matador Red with the Parchment interior, Luxury Package, and several other options I wouldn't have chosen myself if I were buying a brand-new car, but don't mind having given the discount from MSRP I got for it being pre-owned (~7400 mi).

I'm sure I will have some questions, but I am also a good researcher and manual reader, so hopefully I can help out others by providing some answers too. Looking forward to learning more about my new car and getting to know folks here!

Hi everyone! I live in the NY area (Westchester) and I just purchased a 2013 ES350 a few weeks ago. I will post a pic soon after I get the windows tinted. I picked it up in Nebula Gray w/17" wheels...for now. I traded in a 2014 Jeep Cherokee (POS) for this amazing ride and after a few thousand miles - i love it!

I'm doing my mod research and I'm glad to see that coil-overs/lowering springs are available. However, I haven't seen anything on struct bars/braces - is anything available?

^^^ @chaseui14, congrats on your new blue Lexus. I see you've already given her a name. Hadn't thought of a good one for mine just yet.

Default First Time Lexus Owner

2013 ES350
Starfire Pearl
Front moon roof / rear moon roof
Nav, parking sensors, adaptive cruise, lane monitoring, sat radio, power everything all the gizmos

Hope to have this car for a long time. Went from a Honda Civic to this; it's like changing universes. Took it on a cruise through the Gig Harbor WA area last weekend. Did fantastic.

Did have an issue with the parking sensors in the front popping out. Took it back to the place I got it and they reset them. Hopefully not a recurring thing. Was told that some 2013's had the issue and that it shouldn't be a problem. Time will tell.
