congrats and enjoy,

nothing against your car, just 2011's the more and more i see that front bumper design the more i hate it lol, and the led drl unless it's an audi even mercedes was late to the party on the Eclass with them.
imo audi - led string dlr nice, bmw angel eyes nice, everyone else wannabeessss that look tacky and outta place, not to mention first time just one led goes out (ask audi people) you'll see the "beauty" of them...

Lexus didnt mock audi , but they did it because of the upcoming EU requirements for having LEDs as DRLs

Wow, didn't know that. And I thought the LED was more of a "swoosh" design compared to the Audis I've seen.

Thanks guys. I love the LEDs. As stated above all companies have their own touch to LEDs. Lexus is the "swoosh," Benz has the l shape.. It's all good.

Next up: suspension and wheels

Congratulations on the 1st 350 AWD here

I've been gone for about 2 years and am once again looking to get back into a Lexus because of this ride but omg the 17" wheels i hate !! Is there even an " option " to upgrade from the dealer or do we need to go aftermarket instead ??

Good luck on the new ride !!

oh i'm sure there are options you can work out a deal with them i might be doing that some time because I want 18's and having 3 sets of wheels in my garage for my Audi I don't want a 4th set sitting around haha.
