Default Got mine...

Actually picked up my '15 GS 350 F-Sport 12/29/14 but just getting around to posting some pics. I've been a Honda/Acura guy all my life but Acura lost its way with the TLX so I bailed. I looked for about 2 months before I found the right deal, unfortunately it was in Va and I'm in Philly. So after work I hopped on 95 and made the trip down to pick her up. I didn't end up getting back home til 1:30 am and I had to be up for work at 4:30 am . Bad decision to go on a work night but she was worth it. My previous vehicles include: 97 Accord Wagon, 99 TL, 07 TL and a '07 TL Type S. I'm still learning about the car but so far I have no regrets about leaving the Honda family, this car is everything I could ask for. Here's a few pics I took with my iPhone, once I get a detail done, I'll take some better pics.

Here she is, my 2015 GS 350 F-Sport UW/Cab:





At the tint shop. I was a little disappointed because they removed the door panels, never had it done that way before. They ending scratching the rear passenger side panel and I'm waiting for them to fix this.





I removed the ugly front plate, since it's not needed in PA. $36 for 2 plugs is ridiculous but I couldn't stand that front plate.



I ordered factory winter mats and the courtesy door projector bulbs, other than that I'm probably going to go easy on mods. I may do a slight drop and cat-back exhaust if one ever becomes available for the AWD. I did a lot of mods to my Type S and I can't see myself doing that again.

Here's a pic of the dearly departed if anyone is interested...

That TL was the last beautiful thing Acura made. Too bad their designs are awful now. Welcome to the 4GS club!

Congrats on the GS, it looks awesome...

I actually bought my CTS-V from Lindsay Caddy which around the corner from Lindsay Lexus. Drove from NY to VA with my father and oldest son, signed the paperwork and drove it back to NY.. It was a very long day, so I can really I really appreciate the trip you made from Philly.. I wish I could service it at Lindsay what a great auto group.

Enjoy your GS..

They do make both a catback exhaust (they all fit, the full header-back exhausts do not fit AWD without mods) and they also make lowering springs for AWD.

Nice car!

Agreed. I hope Honda/Acura find their way again.
