Amazing what a subtle drop and proper shoes do to the 4GS.

Love the car! Very sharp.

nonetheless, awesome looking car, i love the no tint.


A Premium GS, Luxury GS, and yes an FSPORT GS all come equipped with a 2GR-FSE engine.

FSPORT parts are OEM and the FSPORT is a package... unlike an ISF which is a factory built car with a different engine or an M3 which is different than any other 3 series, therefore there is no such thing as a fake fsport even if it had an fsport badge...

Please excuse me and my "fake" fsport.

I agree, a subtle drop, wheels and the fsport bumper give the car a more refined look, prior to installing the bumper the car just didn't look right IMO even with the wheels and drop.

Not to get off topic but essentially you are telling me my fsport is not really an fsport hahahaha

After all, you do have a F-Sport*

*Fake Sport

Hope ya have a sense of humor buddy, don't take this to heart. Already told ya I love the car. However after seeing it in person the sideskirts are a little bit orange peely and there are a few dust nibs in the f-sport bumper that should be wetsanded and buffed out. The color match is dead on.

Oh snap, I thought it was a F-sport. Just read the other comments.

I like it regardless.

The FSPORT is a great car for someone who will leave it the way it is... unfortunately I have a habit of being different. It didn't make sense to pay more for options that I was going to rip out anyways.

Jav, they won't ever understand. Requires too much thinking

Right. When my wife was looking at the RX350, she could of actually ordered it with the f-sport bumper from the factory (Sport Appearance Package). There was actually a few already built that way in some dealers inventory. Does that mean Lexus Corp are selling fake f-sports LOL.

Great job on the build Jav.
