Hello all.
New to the forum, from Long Island, NY here. I haven't been on a forum like this since I've always leased vehicles, but I just bought my 2014 GS350 AWD w/ navi vehicle at the end of my lease since I only have 13k miles on it.
I joined to see how best to maintain my vehicle, learn the tricks out there, and what other somewhat easy DIY upgrades and service items I could do myself since now I need to care for my car myself.

Default My car

GS300h
Executive
Ionic Titanium (Silver in some lights, Gold in others)
ex demonstrator. RWD
Looked at an Audi A4, great car but long wait to get correct spec
Also looked at IS300h premium. Can't describe why it didn't suit me, but it didn't. GS did.

I believe you're directing the last two posts to me about my atomic silver-painted front lip. The front lip gives the front end a more aggressive look and I'm happy with the way it turned out. There are a few small gaps, but they're barely noticeable. I got the Ebay knock-off painted and installed by a local body shop for $200. I never considered leaving the lip in its original unpainted dark grey.

"Without the rest"? Are you referring to other body kit parts like side skirts, rear diffuser, etc? In my opinion, the front lip looks great on its own.

Hello, just picked up my 2014 GS 350 F Sport AWD (Gray/Red) 24,000 miles from Kansas City and drove it back up to Minnesota yesterday. Overall the car in in excellent condition except for a little curb rash on a wheel, missing owner's manual and after picking it up I noticed the driver's side drip molding is missing.

First order of business will be to get those things fixed and then we'll see from there! BTW does anyone know if there is supposed to be rubber weather stripping on the back window? Mine doesn't have any and I'm worried that was removed (see pic).

Missing drip mold; also potentially missing weather stripping around back window?
