Default New to the GS fam! (not to Lexus)

Just picked up a GS350 so I decided to stop by and say hi to the GS fam!
A whole learning process all over again!

My previous IS350:




and here is the new ride!

Nice, what was the reason for the change? Your IS was sweet.

Welcome! Happy modding!

For the record.... Our cars both share the same suspension platform pretty much, so if you've kept all your is350 suspension parts, it all interchanges into your gs350 .

Sitting in an ISx50, I'd say the big change is because it's much more roomy. The car's also bigger in general

Thanks! always wanted the white Lexus and it's time to move on to something a little roomier with all the goodies like ML, parking assist, etc..

Yup pretty much the same car but roomier and better options.

Another question about the folding mirrors, any mod to make them fold when engine off/door lock and unfold when engine on/unlock?
