His shiftknob is an oem f sport part you can find it on ebay or at a lexus dealership. Check out youtube it shows how to apply the vinyl on the trim. I just ordered a roll of 3M scotchbrite vinyl, gona give it a try.

Thanks! I have seen that thread even for 08 that is only a handful of cars. I come from the mustang world so it's odd for cars much rarer than 03-04 Cobras there's no registry or more detail on production. The 03 Cobras had a lot more info on color production

Yes it's fully optioned. The black interior is what I like the most for sure! Park assist definitely comes in handy as well!

I would really like to hear the exhaust a little more so maybe that's something I can do. It roars and sounds pretty nice stock I can imagine it will sound sick with an aftermarket exhaust. Do you have any pics of your car?

I have a question for you guys. Upon looking at the service history of the car right at 58k miles in 2013 the car wasn't serviced at Lexus anymore until late 2015. My question is what we're the major services done at 60k miles? What should I make sure gets done prior to hitting 100k. Thanks

I said that there are two pearl colors in that year, yours which is star fire pearl which is the more white of the pearl and mine, which is the OPALINE pearl. Both great colors!

Funny thing is I removed 460 from the search and only searched for gs and the 3rd car from the top was this one. I click on it and realized I wouldn't get this opportunity again and the rest is history. Car is in immaculate shape. The previous owner took good care of it. Really liking it vs the gs300. Car drives so smooth you can barely feel the road.


Looks classy! Love the G3 generation style

Thanks man. I did see the fuel system recall and valve spring but nothing on the engine cooling. Let's see when if they pull anything when I go do my oil change.
