New guy in South Bend, Indiana area.
Hi all, new to the forum: About my car: GS350 AWD, which I have had for a little over a year now and absolutely love it. Me: engineer - Purdue and Clemson Alum. Relocating to the SC area soon - my wife hates it here because she can't put the top down on her Miata enough months of the year. Priorities, man... =D

Hi,
Purchased this car around November of 2018, have been lurking until now.
1. GS F-Sport
2. Ultra White / Black
3. Nav w/ ML
4. RWD
5. No DRS
6. Pretty much stock for now, did LED upgrades including door curtesy, trunk LED strip. VLED Triton V6 turn signals for the rear, have fronts but have not installed yet. I have Morimoto XB fogs waiting to go in as well. Also upgraded to Osram CBB D2S bulbs.
I plan to add a rear roof spoiler, front lip, and visors. Thinking about Joe-Z exhaust as well.
7. This car replaced a 2008 Acura TL Type-S.
I have no pictures for now, since its basically a stock white GS. I plan to do a full paint correction/detail to get rid of the swirls from previous owner in the spring time.

Were those LEDs plug and play and do they make a big daytime difference, worth the money??
thanks

The V6 Tritons? If you're talking about those then yeah they are plug and play. I had the older V3 Tritons on my TL-S and they worked really well. My real test was in direct sunlight to be able to see them or not and these are visible during direct sunlight. The kit comes with everything you need to run them including the box to prevent hyper-flashing.
There has been a lot of back and fourth whether its worth it or not because of the price tag, but i think they're worth it since everything is plug and play and no need to install seperate resistors, etc, customer service and warranty are great too if you do run into issues.
I can take some video of daytime/nightime when i can if you're interested in looking into these. I would probably wait until they have their sales to buy though.

EDIT: - FINALLY the title arrived and this is now MINE! If the title ever clears (2 weeks after seeing the post and putting money down), I'll (hopefully!) soon own a
1. 2015 CPO GS 350 F-Sport AWD
2. Liquid Platinum w/ Cabernet
3. Nav but No ML (dang)
4. Edit: I do NOT have the Cold Weather Package after all! I looked long and hard to find one with headlight washers! (I got those, somehow as an individual option, but there are no wiper de-icers or water repellant side door glass), Blind Spot monitor/folding mirrors, Intuitive Park assist.
5. No planned mods other than maybe some day retrofitting a trunk opener, and I'm not thrilled with the accessory Body Side moldings that it has as well as the Paint Protection film applied to the front.
7. I lighlty considered my 5th Mazda in 32 years, but I have always lusted after the the GS series, especially the 2013 through 2015 F Sport.... Test drives of each, however, sealed the deal! A 4 year old GS F Sport AWD w/ 25K easy Florida miles beat out the 2019 6 Grand Touring Reserve FWD turbo. I am not trading, but giving my college kid my 15 year old Mazda 6S V6 5-speed manual hatchback.
Liquid Platinum, Cabernet.
Stunning condition, inside and out.

Nice, but I just can't get used to seeing those door guards.

Going to ignore the PPF for now...
I guess it's just that I've never had it before, so I need to get used to seeing it there. Large sheets of clear plastic covering the front end of a car has always jokingly reminded me of that little old lady who has clear vinyl custom fitted covers on her living room furniture... ha
#1287
I hear that
Not so sure what to do about that... to me they make the car look kind of Ford Taurusy... mainstream... rental fleet-like. Not a fan. But for now I'm going to ignore them. People in Massachusetts are incredibly "****** you" about dinging up your doors. They'll ding your door and keep on walking without even looking back... lol

I see it.
BUT it's only because I know it's there. It was installed well, and is barely noticeable. If I stand next to the car I can see it. I'm not losing any sleep over it. The edges are a tiny bit frayed looking in a couple locations. Now that it no longer lives a cushy garaged life in Florida and it's going to live an ungaraged life here in Wintry salty Massachusetts it's probably going to start showing it's age.
