Congrats on the 4GS FSport addition to your family! That is great from the factory and still has soooo much potential too! Can't wait to see what you do with it and how this opens up your other options.

i think i can safely say "what took you so long". i think we were all waiting on you to get your hands on one of these puppies (for yourself). not surprised with the review, i expected positive reviews. congratz, nice color combo as well. mind if i ask if you're doing coil overs or springs?
What sold her was the interior and as I've driven/ridden in countless cars the past year it is IMO one of the best interiors at any price level from anyone and the Cabernet red interior is just jaw-dropping to us. She loves it.
Suspension wise I think the GS F-sport handles pretty damn perfect so I don't think I want to do coilovers where I would lose the suspension changes. Plus being her car I don't want it slammed 2+ inches to the ground. If I did lower it I would likely go with Accuair or Airrunner suspension as she can raise, lower the car at will. But I think she would rather not go that route lol.
So we pretty much agreed to the F-sport springs coming this month which will lower it an inch and keep the Sport + mode.
She she texted some friends and they all were like "GS GS GS GS"!!! lol. Again though, the interior IMO really sold her, she loves it and I think is glad to be back driving a car.
Yes, she knows the mantra "Stock sucks"
I need to do my review on the FRS as well. Its like the team behind the LFA, IS F revised suspension, FRS, GS all are the same. These new cars from Toyota/Lexus are really drivers cars!
Thanks!
Great color with the SP and Cabernet. That Cabernet will just get more beautful everytime you see it. And now you're experiencing first-hand what the rest of us have loved for so long about our F Sports. I know what you mean about staying put in the seats around corners. I occasionally take my 80 year-old mom to lunch, and I can leave it in Sport + mode and take the corners and she barely notices. Great choice!
You've now had 3 generations of GS's, right?

Yeah...to bring it home...lol...she's driving the company car home tonight lmfao
F-sport springs most likely..pretty certain. Maybe a bodykit, maybe black pearl emblems. Would love to have some cross drilled rotors, no need for a BBK here since it has one up front. JDM Fogs, Vossen Precision Series wheels, not sure which one yet.
Oh and tint, she wants TINT asap

Imagine how much more the gulf in performance would have been had the GS been outfitted with the DRS option.
