I can't get enough of this front end...I thought my mind was made up on the kit I wanted but now I'm looking at a couple others.
Lexus will be using it as well as part of an upcoming feature....

...but, to me, that huge, solid-black grille makes the front end look like it has a hole big enough to pull that big V8 engine through. It's your car, though, and your money...if you like it, that's what matters.

Its not for everyone, I've heard and talked about the negatives in person. Nothing to take personal at all. The funniest one is the people who think I am driving my wife's car since they are both white F-sports and clearly share design cues. It will look even more similar when I add the carbon fiber garnish to the front GS bumper.

maybe you need to black the front middle part on the gs for more family resemblance!

LexFather - First, I'm very excited for you. The journey to fatherhood is a fantastic adventure. You will go through a lot, but it's an amazing thing.
Thank you for sharing your insights on the LS too. It's an interesting choice for a growing family. I think you did a great job and it's a real beauty.
I just had my third child two weeks ago, and as a car guy myself, I agonized over the right vehicle for a family of five. In the end we felt that we really had no choice but to get a minivan because all of my children are under four and in car seats. So we bit the bullet and bought a Honda Odyssey Elite (fully loaded, including vacuum cleaner). I must say, I had no idea how much I would love it. Love it. The car is so amazing for families and it's actually not terrible to drive. The kids love it and all the features, particularly the sliding doors improve our quality of life. Wow!
Now, I've convinced my wife it's my turn for an upgrade, but she can't see the logic in getting anything that won't carry the entire family (so RC F has put me in the dog house). I go back and forth but I'm thinking that maximum fun plus utility is the Tesla Model X P85+ (or equivalent). I actually put down a reservation. But I'm open to suggestions for a five person "fun" family car to complement the minvan.
Again congrats to you and let us know when the new baby arrives!

Man, I totally understand. These damn minivans are AMAZING if you have 2 or more kids. SUVs cant even get close. I loved the Odyssey but I couldnt fit in the front as a passenger. My knees were hitting the dash even with the seat all the way back. We got the Sienna limited because it was a touch bigger. Good luck with the quest for a perfect car. Many happy miles to you

I personally love the spindle grill and full "gaping maw" of the LS F-Sport, ready to devour anything in its path!
