Please forgive me and I know I am going to be in the minority here – and I’m probably old enough to be your Dad and have an OEM (other than tinted windows) tech+ GS4, so take these comments with a grain of salt but, I don’t like it.
It’s your car and each to their own of course and I’d normally be quiet but I’m only mentioning this because I thought your car was the nicest GS I had ever seen (in post 43 of this thread).
The wheels looked fantastic, the gap between the wheel arches and the rims looked completely natural and the reason I loved it so much was how effortless the look was. Now, it looks like you have tried too hard to make the car look “cool” Lowered cars are everywhere.
Your car now certainly appeals to car enthusiasts I’m sure, but the great thing about before was that it actually looked OEM (but better than what Lexus could do) and the 99.9% of the population who don’t know an ES from a GS but know Lexus is a lux brand like a BM or Merc would have looked at your car and thought wow, look at that awesome looking car – a Lexus! What is that – it says GS?
It’s a bit like plastic surgery on your face. You might want a stranger to see your nose is not crooked or whatever – but if you do too much the average person does not really think about whether you look good or bad – they just notice you’ve had plastic surgery.
Anyway, I apologize and really mean no offence. I’ll fetch my coat….

I think it's great that you don't like the car. Everyone has likes and dislikes and I actually really like this post.
I know Calvin personally and I really do not think he will take this offensively. Just thought I'd throw in a couple cents here
how about the video??

I agree with the old guy. Not that I "dislike" the way it sits now, but I like the way it WAS better. Its still a beautiful car, but I fear anymore surgery will push it into the Micheal Jackson category.
