Default F type modification for a 2011

Hey all. I just recently got a 2011 gs350. I've heard there is a way to modify it to a f type. Anyone know if this is possible? I'm also new to NorCal and not familiar with any tuner shops in the area that I could call. Thanks!

There's a few parts from Lexus you can get on eBay, I believe springs, intake, air filter, sway bar, exhaust. All factory f sport parts.

I've never seen the brakes before, were there upgraded f sport calipers for our GS or is it just rotors?

I think it's both

"FRONT- AND REAR-BRAKE UPGRADES6
GS 350
These upgraded brakes help improve fade
resistance during repeated, demanding use.
They also offer a firmer pedal feel and help
improve stopping distance when used
with other F Sport Equipment."

Default Front nose end swap to f type

I have an 08 gs350. I want to put a f sport front to it from like 2012 or newer. Will it work? If yes what are the extra things I'll need to buy to make the parts fit?

Wonder if anyone on the forum has all of these parts? Would be interesting to know how much better the car handles with the sway bars, shocks and springs.

Nice...thanks. I will have to give them a call. How much of a difference did you notice after your mods?

You should consider starting with the cheapest f sport mod, the shiftknob. I just installed mine a few weeks ago, bought off ebay, $70. You can install it yourself, just twist off the shiftknob. I like the grip and overall quality of it. I recommend it to everyone.
