Cool Well I'm back!

I've forgotten how luxurious the GS cabin was and I feel that the ML system on this one punches harder than my RC's so that's a good thing. Oh and this one comes with power trunk and glass breakage sensor.

I do have 2 scratch lines on my left headlight already, possibly from the damn dealer car wash. Will Meguiar's PlastX do the trick? I tried ScratchX and it didn't do anything. It's not deep as I can't feel it with my fingernail, more like a surface scratch.

Tech feels a bit outdated compared to the RC's Gen10 and it's too bad that the instrument cluster bezel doesn't move like LFA style. Sometimes Lexus moves 1 step forward and 2 step backwards. I don't know.

Anyone knows why the iHeartRadio volume defaults to 23 after restarting the car? BT audio and everything else stays the same, only iHeartRadio Enform App.

Clean ride, great choice on the color combo.

Going from an RC to a GS. Would you still recommend a RCF or a GSF? as an F car.

Thanks man! Well I had a 2014 GS before the RC and any F cars I recommend. I saw the new 2020 RCF with Performance Package (not Track Edition) at a local dealer and that thing is BADASS!! I'm just not at that level yet. lol If u want sexy, a coupe is the way to go but if u want a fast family hauler that can carry a ton of stuff then get GSF. The RC trunk is very small compared to GS.

Plast x should definitely take it out. I used to use it to polish cloudy headlights. Lexus definitely goes 1 step forward and 2 steps back. I don’t understand this about them!

Welcome back to the 4GS - nice choice on the color! Did you trade in the RC ?

You were never gone. You spent more time browsing the GS forums than you did the RC. LOL

Welcome back, although I don't really think you left the GS family.

Quick warning on this. You might actually polish off the UV protection coating, which will lead to yellow headlights.
