Default F-Sport

2013 GS 350 F-Sport - Starfire pearl on Flaxen int.
AWD, NAV, Blind Spot, Park Assist. Remote Start.
No ML, no heads up, no DRS.
Replaced an 07 GS 350 awd
Covered bumper under grille w/ 3M matte black auto film. Considering blacking out all chrome and emblems as well as further black auto film on bottom of front air dam. Window tint is coming soon. Considering a bumper wrap with 3M clear? Considering a power license plate retractor for the front.
Would like to swap my headlights for the hybrid's LEDs. I don't know if they will fit or work?

Don't black out the emblems and chrome bits, that's just tacky. I would also make the blacked out center bar reflective and not matte. Very nice though.

hey what's up everyone? i bought my GS a few months ago, but haven't had a chance to sign up...hoping to find some good information on this car.

1. GS Premium
2. Liquid Platinum/Tan
3. Nav
4. AWD
5. n/a
6. Drop, wheels and tires, tint...we'll see what else
7. Audi A6, 300c SRT8. This replaced my supercharged C5 Z06 - I wish I still had that car; wife wanted me to get something more "practical" (I'll never forgive here for that).

I thought about the reflective film but I think this blends better with the grille, which is what i was going for.

if you get the retractable plates, what are you going to do about the holes made by the current plate?

Just ordered from dealer last night . . . .


1. 2013 GS350 F-Sport
2. Starfire Pearl & Cabernet
3. Nav with Mark Levinson
4. RWD
5. no DRS, but I did order the Heads Up Display
6. F-Sport lowering springs (if they ever come out), Window Tint, Full Front Clear Bra, LED conversion for the minor lights, considering fog lights depending on the cost.

I would cover the holes with a new film application on the front bumper. By the way, I work in Nassau and I know you are close as I think I have seen your car. Very nice and I've read several of your posts and often find your responses interesting.

What's your thoughts on blacking out the door chrome with 3M glossy black auto film with rear chrome and emblems in matte black?

if that's what you like, then go for it. i had a SP F Sport and i left it as is. i would leave the blacked out bumper and the chrome. if you get the gloss wrap for the chrome then you should go with the black pearl emblems instead of matte black, but then you should rewrap the bumper in gloss black . we should move this to the regular forum threads because this is the roll call thread.
