Default No more 4x4 status on my awd f sport finally!

Starting to get the car how I want it - picked up a demo gs350 a few weeks ago

Removed ghetto tint that it came with on only the back windows and added 50% tint on all sides and rear
-lowered with tanabe rwd springs
-red out of orange rear turn signals
-light smoke vinyl on lower reflectors (oem are bright red for some reason and don't match tailights)
-changed out gs badge for black chrome so they aren't as noticible (and matches the f sport badging)
-Philips Ultinon headlight bulbs
-20 inch rims on the way that should fill up the wheel wells properly by eliminating the gap and not be as "sucked in" with the offset


Anyways figured I'd share since it's a Lexus site even though they aren't major changes. Should look a lot better with the wheels.

Thanks.

I like the rwd springs drop and people have already done it here with no issues. I would prefer the drop of the rsr super downs but don't want to deal with camber issues and tire wear at this point.

Yup both calipers are painted silver - clean and simple oem+ look.

You can get black pearl emblems for most lexus models at Sewell Lexus - the only issue is they're expensive.

Your ride looks sharp! Couple of questions.... Can you give us feedback after 30+ days on your experience with Tanabes on the AWD? What exactly did you do to red out the orange tail lights. Looking great! Thanks

Sure happy to give feedback in a month.

I have red vinyl on the lights . Had it on my is350 too - very durable and looks oem. You can find pre cut for the signals on e bay (I have this) or if you want high quality sheets you can look at lamin x.

Some members here have the same on their taillights.
