@JackRydden : Tough to find with all those features but here's a few:

I just recently purchased a 2015 GS350 F-Sport with good miles. Love the car and the ride. Basically drove Toyota’s all my life with an Avalon basically a cheaper ES and a Scion TC. Had a bimmer also as my last ride but large leaks ended that but still great. The GS is great for daily and accelerates when I need it too. I know it won’t have any major problems cuz all my other Toyota’s didn’t.



I added satin wrap so far.

Looking for other ideas

Exhaust and stuff but I do live in California and trying to figure out what systems are legal to have!

Default Feel like I'm on the ground

1. 2014 - GS350 F-sport
2. Liquid Platinum / Cabernet Leather
3. ML
4. RWD
5. DRS
6. remote starter!, some tasteful LED updates, door guards (yeah, they are ugly, but people in parking lots...), sound deadening, windshield UV film, maybe an exhaust system, speaker updates over the ML speakers...some DYI ideas that might come to fruition if I find time
7. This car replaced my 2002 Tundra that got stolen out of my driveway.

Hello guys!

Last month, my '02 Tundra got stolen out of my drive as I was warming up the engine and loading bags in it. I had that truck for 15 years and put 180k on it. Barely had any issues with it and I was crushed when it was returned. The timing belt had just been replaced and I have a new radiator in the garage that was about to get installed. What someone did with it over the course of five days, heartbreaking. The person put cigarettes out on my console and headrests, smashed the front end up, side-swiped something...you just start to wonder about the world around you.

This GS is the first car I've owned since the early 90's and it is a big change for me. Everyone I know is wondering how long I'll last before I want a truck again. I've wanted a GS since the early 2000's and I could not pass on this one when I was shopping around. I'm having to combat the teenager in me to go overboard with the paint and upgrades. But, I do plan to keep the car for 200k, so taking care of the paint and interior helps it feel youthful I guess.

I've been wanting a remote start in a vehicle for years, kinda my must have, so that might be the second upgrade I do, after a UV film is installed on the front window. I love seeing the several years of posts on this forum that pretty much covers many of the questions I would have. My 2014 has just about 58k mi on it, and I didn't opt for the extended warranty. I'm hoping that doesn't come back and bite me. There was a CPO out in California (I'm in Texas) that only had 5k mi on it for $10k more and I'm wondering if that is going to haunt me for years not jumping on that one, enjoying a road trip with it home.

I have been doing reseach in this forum for years now and I know exactly what direction I’m going to go with my 14 Gs350 F-sport rwd. I’ve owned the car for a few years now and all I have done is put 20in rsr r701 rims. I feel in love with this car the second I saw the first Lexus commercial on it back in 2012. It is my dream car. I don’t plan on changing the look drastically or do anything performance wise to the vehicle, I want to add my own unique touch to the car, just like everybody else I do believe the car is under powered but if you ask me, it is the perfect combination of Luxury and Sport. Cheers!



Rsr r701 20x8.5 20x10

Had the rims painted gold and the calipers painted red with F-sport logo

Hello Guys,

I'm new here and I just purchased a 2013 Lexus GS with luxury package. I have had it a week. It's really a great car. I was disappointed it doesn't have power folding mirrors

While I'm here does anyone have any recommendations for LED turn signals bulbs (front and back)?
I also want to update the headlight and fog lights to something brighter. Any suggestions?

I will post pics later.
