Default Gs-f

Got my GS back in Dec 2015, was told it was the first car sold in North America (not first made). had the dealership custom paint the calipers as it was shipped with dark gray ones. Downside is, the F logo sticker is still not available via the part department.

I have since installed Niche wheels, 5 spoke. The stock wheels look great until you try and clean your calipers. I spoke with Brembro directly about the dust (my LS 460 F sport had same brakes) and was told its just how they designed the pads. So I moved to a wider opening 5 spoke for easy to clean wheels plus it shows off the brakes much better.

The car is being sponsored by GTHaus and in the processes of getting a cat back exhaust system built. You can see the RC-F setup on their site http://gthaus.com/musa/

Once completed I will post pics of the car with new exhaust and rims...

So far love the car, 2 tickets down but fun to drive.
Top speed so far has been 148mph (baker, ca) - handles like a dream.
This is my 6 Lexus and countless Toyota products.. Started with the first gen IS300 / 2001

Wondering if anyone has completed suspension upgrades to theirs?

Also seem to be having a slight problem with the paint on the front bumber, the leading edge of the air duct is showing signs of wearing off. I do drive a lot across the desert areas of So Cal, but with only 7K miles on it thats not much. Anyone else with this issue?

Just purchased a 2014 GS350 F-Sport RWD. White on Red. Replaced the old tires with Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+ tires after reading a few threads on here. Went with 245 & 275 combo from Costco without issue. Car came with 31k miles and is in excellent shape. Planning on tinting the windows at the least and seeing what everyone else is doing with theirs.

Hello all, am new here and just got 2 Lexus this past weekend, an 2010 Es350 and 2014 GS350FS. All in an attempt to lower our monthly car expenses. I drove a Ram 1500 long horn all bells and whistles for 3 years, and loved the poop out of that truck, our other car was a 2014 TL.
I took my GS to some some twisty roads I frequented when I rode my motorcycle and it was all smiles on sports+ mode. What a glorious feeling riding through the twisties often going WOT.
I LOVE THIS CAR.

Went out this weekend and sold my hs250h after driving it for 6 years. Decided I need sonething new. Was debating between the 2016 ES 350 or the 2016 GS 350 f sport. Finally decided to get GS wanted something more engaging to drive.

Hello all!!

Houstonian checking in here. I just got rid of the Nissan Maxima and am really close to picking up a 2013 Certified Pre-owned Lexus GS350.

My question to you all, as far as aftermarket parts is concerned, is:
1) What are the pros and cons of the Fsport?
- Are aftermarket front lips made for just FSport models? What about the regular non FSport models?
-Is it just me or are most of the members here all driving FSport models?? Should I pick up an FSport model???

2) What are the pros and cons of the AWD?
-am I limited to the size and fitment of aftermarket wheels on an AWD car as opposed to the regular RWD?
