Congratulations GOT PSI on you new GS. I ordered a Nebula Grey/Cabernet F Sport also. Seems to be a popular color combination.
I did consider the Liquid Platinum/Cabernet combination but my wife thought it looked a little "washed out" when in direct sunlight and I had to agree with her.

Nice! Everytime I see the Nebula Gray F-Sport with those gray wheels I'm bummed that my dealer ordered Liquid Platinum instead of the Nebula Gray we discussed. But Liquid Platinum once my second choice and I'm sure I'll love the combo. We will now have two Liquid Platinum car in our garage, so it looks like we'll be trading the G37 Convertible soon.

Thanks everyone. Going on day 3 with the car. I LOVE IT !!!!! it turns heads everywhere I go. People look at the car like they are confused at what kind of lexus it is. Its amazing. S+ and Paddles is INSANE. Car handles like a dream. The car is solid in every way, body roll is non existant.
I'm extremely pleased with the premium sound. I read a few posts here about people saying that the premium sound left more to be desired but I completely disagree. The premium sound on this car is WAY better than the Logic 7 sound system I had on my 335i. Turn on the surround feature, tweak the treble, bass, mid and fader and the system really comes alive.
The nav system is incredibly easy to use once you get the feel and hang of the "mouse". You'll be flying through the menus in no time. The one downside is the enform app on the iphone has a problem that drains the battery super fast and makes the phone get hot. I left some feedback on the appstore about it and hopefully they'll correct it.
I'm going to ge my tints put on this morning and changing the OEM HID bulbs to 8000k. I'll post some better pics later.

I've had both 6000k and 8000k HIDs on all my previous cars. I gravitate more towards 8000k. For one, I like the slight hint of blue. But besides that, in my opinion, you get more of the full color spectrum vs 6000k. Visibility is outstanding with the 8000k IMO. Im currently running heads and fogs in 8000k on the wife's 2012 GX 460.
4300k (OEM): 4300K has an approximately 3100lm output, which is more than 3x the light output of the traditional halogen light and is the color temperature with the most output. The light appears fairly white, and has light yellowish hue when reflected off the road identical to the OEM HID equipped vehicles. It is ideal for customers who do a lot of back road or canyon driving and need the optimal visibility.
6000k: 6000K has an approximately 2900lm output, which is 3x the light output of the traditional halogen light and slightly less light output compared to the 4700K. Although it has a bit lesser light output, it emits pure whiter light with a slight tint of blue.
8000k: 8000K has an approximately 2500lm output, which is about 3x the light output of the traditional halogen light and slightly less light output compared to the 6000K. While it has a bit lesser light output, it emits bluer light than the 6000K. This is one of the most popular of all color temperatures by customer demand.

i've had both 6000k and 8000k, and i personally prefer the 6000k due to more light output. The hint of blue is pretty cool, but I like function over look. With that said, I wont touch 4300k even as it has more usable/visible light. lol

Its really a matter of choice between 6000k and 8000k. 6000k is slightly brighter (400 lumens) and WHITE where 8000k has a slight tint of blue. Both are beautiful
Hope this helps Tu.
