big... every time i see tjhis pic of your car i am like wow.. this is a beauty... if you do not mind, what was the cost to black out your chrome? Also I just noticed that the area where you inserted your Apexi controller you must have customized it? Thank you for your time to make these mods, upload the great results and provide feedback! Also do you feel like the Apexi controller does anything?

Thank you..

Blacking out the trim is going to vary from body shop to shop. I personally had all pieces removed and prepped before painted. To ensure best look/adhesion.

The Apexi throttle controller was installed without any modification. Very easy to install. In my opinion, & a must have for car enthusiasts. It offers you 7 different modes w/led changing color
with each mode selected.

(3 ECO Modes, 2 Boost Modes, Lo-Throttle Mode, and Hi-Throttle Mode)

All modes = something..But Red is instant throttle response

Very nice looking car and Congrats! I had a 2014 GS 350 F Sport and looking at how it evolved in 2 years is amazing. The 2016 definitely looks much better!

After lowering her, we went ahead and did the alignment. You can see the before measurements
as well as the after. We were unable to get the Rt front camber in specs at this time.
Will do a follow up alignment once things settle down.

To be continued..

Not 100% sure @ this point. I figured I would let everything settle, then do another alignment.
Let me know how your's turn out after you align Tomorrow

Here are some pics after lowering her. I believe she will settle a bit more in due time

Do you tuck the PS unit behind the dash as well? I would imagine it would be a little tight no?

big I forgot to ask did you use any spacers for when you used the springs?
I definitely plan to install those cameras just in case of any future hit and runs

Yes, it's tucked behind the radio. You have to make sure you don't catch any wires when you re install the radio

Does the rear camera get in the way of the rear sunshade?
