Hey, CL! I'm baaaacccckkk! Just acquired a 2013 F-Sport this evening. It feels good to be back in a Lexus after a few rocky (and expensive) years in a BMW aka 'The Brick'.

1. F-Sport
2. Liquid Platinum / Cabernet
3. Nav / Not sure about the ML just yet...
4. RWD
5. no DRS
6. Probably just wheels and a slight drop.
7. I wasn't considering much else. I knew what I wanted and I got it!

Thanks, LexLuthors. I don't post often, but I visit the forum all the time. Over the last several years on the 2GS forum with my '03 GS and the last few weeks on this forum, I see there that there aren't many of us NorEasterners. Most of these guys are from SoCal, Texas, and Florida. They do some incredible mods that would be hard to make work with a daily driver where we live. Still, I always get some great ideas.

I looked all over for your exact color combination, but couldn't find one with the right package and mileage. I love that blue in the sunlight.

What kind of camera did you use for your shots?

I've had the car for around 2 weeks now. Wanted to take some pictures, but kept forgetting my camera. A friend had his so he just snapped a few and I saved the few decent ones.

Out of all the Lexus Dealerships I checked out, there was only 1 of these color combos I found. Glad I kept looking, almost settled for color I didn't really want.

As for the pictures, I shot these with my Nikon D5200 with a 28mm-135mm lens.

Thumbs up

New to the forum and more importantly new to me as of last night.

1) 2013 GS 350 Luxury with CWP
2) Liquid Platinum / Black
3)Nav, ML, HUD, Night Vision, Pre Collision System
4) AWD
5) No DRS
6) No mods, yet
7) Replacing an '06 BMW 550. Considered the V8 5's but reliability of the late models scared me away.

Welcome and congrats on the Lexus! Post some pics when you can. Have you used the night Vision yet, I always wondered how good it works.

Thanks! Pictures will have to wait until I get it cleaned to my standards.

I have used the night vision and find it slightly useful. It is only marginally useful on a well lit street as the street lights and reflective signs cause it to wash out some but if you live where there aren't many street lights it really does allow you to see much farther off the side of the road and somewhere around 500-600 feet straight ahead pretty clearly. I could drive looking just at the screen if the road were straight ahead, in sharp corners it would be much better if it turned with the headlights instead of pointing with the nose of the car. If I lived in a rural area or did a lot of highway driving I would pay extra to have it knowing how well it works now.

Just purchased a '13 Starfire Pearl 450h. Now I'm waiting for it to get transported from FL and sell my '07.

Default GS Performance mods?

I'm new to Club Lexus.I just bought a 2013 GS350. Nebula Grey, AWD, Nav, DRS. What are some performance mods I can do? I'm pretty mechanically inclined, I work in a body shop. Are there any turbo/superchargers? Maybe a nitrous kit? Whats the best aftermarket exhaust? How about power programers? Thanks in advance!
