I've learned from past experiences that audio is really the only area I'd wanna focus my time and money on upgrading. Most other mods that I've done on my cars prior to the GS I've more or less regretted in the long run. On my GS, I've added a few carbon fiber exterior bits and have an audio setup waiting to be put in, but no other plans beyond that.

Of course, I will be doing my usual "upgrades" such as window tint, paint protection film on the front bumper, paint correction/ceramic coating, etc but as far as performance stuff, I'm staying fully stock on this car other than Michelin tires when these wear out.
Which Michelins will you put on? I recently purchased two Dunlop sp sport 50 tires for about 140 a piece and now they are doubled. Would you recommend getting the same ones and paying double lol or something else?

The GS is already perfect as it is for me and nothing more to do.
the only I did to my 2018 Gs350 f sport was paint my calipers red and add the dapper decal. The car is a very nice looking sedan already.

LOL... At first I was thinking "what did he trade it in for now?" but you will no doubt get greater long term pleasure by making that engine bay complete.

Looks good! I thought you installed one of those Lithium-Ion batteries that are about 40lbs lighter but cost $600.

It currently has pretty new Michelin Primacy all-seasons (the OEM equipment) on it now in 235/40/19, but when the time to replace them comes I'm thinking of going up 10mm in width to 245/40/19 to get the brand new Michelin Pilot Sport 4 all-season tires.
