Congrats..!!!

Now the best part... We already know the do's & don'ts.. ;)

:bigok:

Joe Z

Nice wheels.

Congrats.

Love the Instrument Panel. Aluminum trim looks better. As for first Mods, vinyl over chrome trim on front bumper, rear bumper, anything chrome.

Yes sir..

Thank You..Going to be changing them though

I also love the instrument panel. Was not a fan of the old aluminum interior trim. Probably would not
have purchase this car if that was the only option.

Chrome is going for sure!! Most likely going to have it all painted

lol, dang! Congrats biggame.

After the crazy amount of work to supercharge your 2013 GS, I thought for sure you were done with the lack of power and only going to consider the GS F!

Hope you enjoy it. It looks sexy in black. Maybe trade up the GS F in a few years after it depreciates some? ;)

Enjoy,

~ Im2bz2p345 :)

ha ha....

Man!! I was so dissapointed we couldn't get the power I was looking for with the supercharger. Lexus really has that ECU locked up. (for now)
The GSF was right up my alley. The price however, was another thing. I'm hopping they will be more flexible with the price in a couple of years. When
dealers have more than 1..lol

So far I'm loving the new 16 GS..Only thing black is going to be a beast to keep clean!!

Beautiful, congrats! My lease is up on my S5 in January '17 and I'm trying to decide what to get next. I'm getting my wheels refinished this week so I'm driving an A6 loaner car with all the bells and whistles and couldn't be more bored. Now I remember (when I was in the market for a sedan) why I loved the GS F Sport so much more than the competiton. Maybe it doesn't have the torque of the Audi V6 Supercharged engine, but it is a hell of a lot more fun to drive and has a kick-ass interior. Enjoy!

Looks beautiful!
What deal you got if you dont mind sharing.

I searched around, toying with the idea of more hp/torque. In the end I was not willing to sacrifice the
luxury and looks Lexus is offering. Don't get me wrong whenever I give it gas I'm reminded of the lack
of power from 30mph up. Audi produces some incredible driving cars, but in the end the finishing touches are just not there in my book...Maybe when your ready to make a change, Lexus may just have something more powerful for people like you and me. With a price that makes sense!

Lexus is not offering any incentives right now on the 16 GS. Just $750. With that being said, It's also the best time to haggle with them. GM's will be more flexible. If the deal makes sense to them it's yours! Good luck~

Congrats! Black cars look amazing but a pain to keep clean.

Congrats! Maybe some of the parts off your last car can be used. ;)

Big, do u feel any power difference between this and the old one? It's 311 vs 306 HP right?

Big time!!

I sold everything!! I only have the Vossen CV7 wheels and Tanabe springs left. Neither will be used on this car..For sale if anyone wants a good deal?

You know what, It does feel a bit faster out of the hole. If we are comparing stock to stock

Congrats new car looks great! I love that new instrument cluster and I like the new diamond design trim. I also think the new wheels looks better. And you have folding mirrors now.
