I have a 06' gs300. When my headlights are on against a wall...the cut off line is not straight from driver side to passenger side, the passenger side goes a little higher. Anyone else w/ a gs have this same issue??

that's normal. the driver side is a bit lower to avoid glaring at on-coming traffic

For what we paid for these 3Gen...we should get the 5th wheel like the 2Gen. I had two 02 GS430 and both came with the factory 5 spoke wheels.

white full size spare is good idea (in previous lexus), i actually knew a few people who got a flat, put on the spare, and just drove it like that (and forgot about it).

only till the next time they got a flat, they looked into the trunk and found another flat....
