Thank you! I love my Lexie gem.
Question: Anyone know why the model badge doesn't appear on the '99 GS400?
Rear bumper only has Lexus and nothing else....

Thank you.
LEXUS_KID Nice Red Ride.

Still getting to know the Silver Gem. SO refined. Can't believe how light a touch it takes to respond so quickly. Not Liking the current gas prices, tho.

Total GS noob question:
Gear changes are so smooth, don't understand the use of e-shifting. Learned to drive a manual when I was a teenager, but never owned a manual vehicle. How do you correctly apply the e-shift technology when driving? What are the conditions to use it instead of just letting the car pick it's own gears?

Default E-shifting

Learned to drive a manual when I was a teenager, but never owned a manual vehicle. How do you correctly apply the e-shift technology when driving? What are the conditions to use it instead of just letting the car pick it's own gears?

Example of how it's used?

fuzzzz, Thanks, fambam and information.
Kira X Thanks, def learning alot!

Driving down the 110, amazed I'm only using 1/4 power and Silver Gem glides so effortlessly.
So smooth, may consider the SRT High Flow Intake System along with Daizen bushings in the future....

Really want to tint my car windows, but, a-lot to think about. Wanted ceramic specifically Crystalline. Considering Huper and Pinnacle F1 but mostly trying to decide best heat rejection for value. One shop said ceramic WILL interfere with phone and radio in my GS.
Not sure about the reliability of Winco, Sun-gard, Campbells-SPF films!!!!

Research fatigue.........
