A lot went into the decision to do it. My wife and I share the car and we considered the previous lease a long test drive. We both decided we love the GS and plan to keep the new one for 5+ years. Neither of us likes Lexus' current styling direction and she's a less-than-confident driver who would prefer not to change cars often.

Xpel protects against a lot more than swirl marks...and there's a LOT to protect against! The previous car was just ridiculous. After less than two months with nothing but human-powered, cloth-only car washes it looked like someone had taken to the hood with steel wool in places. The new car will look NEW every time it's washed. Bullets bounce off this stuff; I'll certainly never have another new car without at least the front wrapped.

Nice! Can we get more pics at different angles? Also the only other mod left is the F sport spoiler.

Default Just got retinted

Was unhappy with the previous tint job. They lied to me about the tint film used. Now I am happy with the results. Tint World in Bensenville,IL did it. Not the cheapest but did an outstanding job. 35% suntek carbon Xp all around and 45% suntek carbon Xp on the windshield. Thinking of selling the wheels and going a different style like a 5 star once I get my new brakes and powder coated calipers. They also installed my Remote starter. I went with the compustar drone that I can know where my car is at all times as well has have control of it from anywhere on my cell phone.

Now do I wrap it Matte Blue?

Came out great! I'm planning to get mine retinted. It's too light for me. Currently 35% around. Did they redo the rear window as well? I'm scared that my tint shop might damage the rear defroster lines trying to remove the tint. I like your wheels btw.

Yes rear window as well. They need to remove properly. Mine was steamed off with a steamer. With the windshield done it definitely darkened it up some. I am not using the ac as high as I was either.
