Rear side sunshades in a GS350 Fsport
Hi Guys, I'm new to this forum.
Does anyone know if it's possible to install rear side sun shades on the Fsport and install the rear control panel on the arm rest? These are basic functions to me in a luxury sedan,
I've no idea why Lexus decided to remove the following on the Fsport variant:
1) Not install fog lights, both front & back.
2) Remove the front passenger seat control buttons on the side of the backrest.
3) Remove side sun shade.
4) Remove the control panel on the rear armrest.
Here's a picture of my ride just to share!

stock height? are they 19 or 20? it looks good!
twas removed because race car
probably have to replace the whole panel for sunshades
rear control probably cost too much and not worth the hassle
its easier to buy the luxury and replace the front bumper

My rims are 20" and yes they are on stock suspension. I've been waiting for the Fsport lowering springs to come out for the longest time!
I see, figured. But still, its like getting ripped off haha, if u get wat i mean.
I've got the nappa red interior so i don't think i can get any of the luxury GS's interior as i think the red is exclusively for Fsport models. I just want the shades for the sake of wanting it haha.
Thanks for your input!

and this is why i ended up with the luxury model.. there really arent any performance enhancements with the Fsport (slightly bigger brakes?) but there are many upsides to the luxury (shades, seats, fog lights, etc). i dont understand why people just dont buy the luxury and then change the front bumper? best of both worlds

Yeah, you would have to replace the entire rear door panel, on both doors. You're looking at $2,000, at least. It's not worth it. Just tint the windows and be done with it (which it looks like you already have).

You gotta change the wheels too. No offense, but the wheel options on this GS are awful, outside of the F-Sport and the Forged F-Sport aftermarket wheels.

The profit margin on the F Sport Package must be huge compared to the Luxury Package. I felt I was getting far more for my money with the Luxury Package. The boy-racer stuff can be added for a much lower cost later.
