Hey Muggy, I am running summer tires. I usually take my IS out if it is just raining and/or sunny. If not, I just drive my SUV if it is snowing or if the pavement looks very slippery.

I saw your post about the SpeedElement CF lip kit, are you planning on getting it? I am quite interested in the side CF splitters myself, but will have to do some custom fitting onto my Ings side skirts.

I actually got the SE non carbon fiber version front lip only. They only made one in the world so i was pretty lucky to get it. Decided to go with the route of keeping my car focusing on one tone. Email them and ask how much work will be needed to custom fit on your INGS sides. They have great customer service and replies to emails quick.

Even though i've never seen their carbon fiber product's quality but the lip I got, fits perfectly with no issues.

spotted the 4GS today at the dealership right before they closed. They were trying out some stuff not too sure what. But the 4GS looks much much better in person..

Realli? I better stop by OpenRoad Richmond Lexus and see if they have the GS for viewing. XD

They already have some goodies from TRD Japan

Muggy: Thanks for the quick review. I've keep that in mind as I hope to add the side splitter in CF in the near future as soon as the weather is more cooperative.
I think I saw you the other day. You were behind me at one point while I was driving my RX350 (black).
Too bad I didn't have a good look at your SE tuned front lip. =(

^ I swear your salesman is trying to hide the truth from you. Because I was standing at the Service side at 5:20pm (Right before the service side is closed) and looking out the window near the cooler, at the 4GS with 2 people inside trying out the gadgets. I know it's 100% a 4GS because of the front, the size of it, the side windows, and also the rear lights.. It's almost as big as a LS. It was a silver one and I thought I was able to go outside to check it out but it's all the way at the near back area. It's a normal 4GS not the fpsort because the front looked pretty plain.

Damn it.... I knew I should have took a picture... "Picture or it never happened ... " Lol now you're making me all fidgety wanting to get up and quickly go over there to see if i can get a pic....

And also, there were 4 of us customers inside all looking at it as well.. I think we were all curious... lol dont know how else to prove that i saw it .....

Wait, was that you with the black RX and those huge rims!?!? Man, lol I was saying to myself when i saw your RX, "that's exactly how I would mod it if I owned a RX." You got good taste my friend. :P If that was you, haha I was trying to keep up with you to check out your ride.

I actually don't have the SE lip on yet cause of weather too.. planning to keep GFX as winter and SE as summer...

muggy, it's possible the sales guy i deal with didn't see the 4GS, or perhaps he was ordered to keep "mum" about it. in any event, he told me the 4GS will be available as early as next weekend for viewing.

saw the new 4GS today at regency lexus and i think it looks great. they have gs350 AWD F sport model on display, black exterior, cinnamon interior (not so sure if that's the right word to describe the colour). has a big nav screen, pretty simple UI for the a/c, radio and such.
