About a month ago I picked up a 2015 GS 350 F Sport
Pearl White/ red interior
Navigation
RWD
No DRS (I think)
Planned mods: lower, 20” wheels (on order), front splitter, maybe side skirts, chrome delete, and some performance upgrades. The day I brought her home Something we’ve all seen before What’s in the garage these days First thing I did to it this week 20x9 +32 fronts 20x10.5 +42 rears 245/35/20 fronts 285/30/20 rears Took painting the grills gloss black tonight. A few coats of primer. A few coats of paint. And a few coats of clear. Should be ready to put together in the morning Pulled bumper to pull grills The copper I chose to go with. Lexus caliper stickers coming soon. I picked black letters.
poppawolf8 calipers look nice! did you use G2 caliper paint for your calipers? they look good and have been watching videos all day since I'll be doing this mod next.
Hey Thanks!
I used VHT engine paint for the primer, caliper, and gloss clear. I just couldnt find a caliper paint at the local parts stores that excited me. I did about 3-4 coats of primer, 4-5 light coats of paint and about the same for the clear coat. Im super happy with how it turned out. I have since put on black lexus stickers and also got in the ultra racing strut bar for the front struts which I sanded down and painted the same color to match the calipers. Just like others have stated on here, take your time and do light coats so as not to have any runs.
G Got my RS-R Super Downs installed at work along with Specialty Products camber arms. Love the stance now. Doing my research on here about others issues sure did get me prepared for the install. Love the look!! I’m waiting to install my wheels and tires for about 500-750 miles to make sure the springs settle a little bit. Reason being is I’m going to run a 285/30/20 in the rears and want to make sure no rub.

Ok... first things first, "Welcome!" Great looking ride! If you liked your IS, you will love your GS, i.e. if you don't mind the larger size.
Secondly... time to come clean... what other mods didn't you list? I see the Triple LEDs, a stand-alone option. And since you have ML, I'm guessing it's also equipped with IPA and Power trunk. Did you get any other upgrades, wheels, HUD?
And your plan for the ceramic coating is a good plan, to keep the salt and grime off the paint... make sure your get the wheels done as well, that brake dust is some sticky stuff and there's a lot!

That is one nice ultra white GS, that was my second choice before I purchased my liquid platinum. Enjoy and Welcome

Screw the triple LEDs, it has rear-wheel steering. Drooling.

Don't know how I feel about the rear wheel steering, I haven't had the chance to drive it much yet.

It sure helps with turn radius. im not sure i notice much since i haven't compared to one without it but my friend says he definitely feels a difference.

I drove our 2015 tonight for the first time in a while, which does have it. My 2018 doesn't. It reminded me of why I don't like to drive our 2015 very often... Not because it's not good but because it makes a world of difference in how they drive and handle. They handle like completely different cars, especially at higher speeds on the freeway when the rear wheels are steering in the same direction as the front wheels.
Kind of bums me out that I didn't stand my ground in finding one with it when picking up my '18. It's that good. *sigh* It was a long day (spent a long time at BMW & Infiniti prior to going to Lexus) and I just wanted to get it over with at that point.
Like, I don't know how to put into words how much smaller, lighter & nimbler the car feels while also being so incredibly stable and sharp with just a twitch of the wheel... and I'm comparing a 70,000 mile car to a car with 9,000 miles on it and that's how much sharper, agile & more responsive it is with DRS.
Turn radius is dramatically & noticeably better but there are so many other things that are also improved. IMO, turning radius isn't even worth mentioning because the standard GS already has such a good turning radius, but of course, it is definitely even better with it.
I drove it around in Sport S+ and whereas I don't like driving around in the 2018 in Sport S+ because it feels like all I'm really doing is making it bumpier, in the 2015 it makes the front steering and rear steering SO sharp. I did a couple test swerves around 45 mph and the stability is like, stupidly good... Body roll is almost non-existent feeling. It's crazy. I'm a little beside myself. I remember it being a lot better, but not this much better haha.
In sum, "on rails" is a term I would say accurately describes how our 2015 with it feels (in regards to handling dynamics). I cannot say the same about my 2018, unfortunately.
IPA, Intuitive Park Assist. But it sounds like yours is pretty much loaded for an F Sport. And after Signdetres' description of DRS, man... am I jealous!
