Default Finally!!!

Well I finaly picked up a '16 GS350 this weekend after many months of research. I chose a Matador Red, Saple interior, luxury version. the car is more than I ever thought it would be. I was in a '13 ES350 luxury and wasn't sure how much better a GS would be. It only took a few minutes of driving it to figure that out. It is smooth as glass, quiet, and solid.

I'll post some pictures later but am glad for now that I am in the GS. thanks to all of you who helped me with my questions before my purchase. And yes I got a good deal on my trade and on the price of the car.

For now I do have one question. I searched the forum for where to purchase a OEM spolier but all the links are invalid. Does anyone know a a dealer that sells them online? And does anyone have a template for a '16 they would like to sell?

Congrats! In 2014 I was all set to by my 4th ES, then I test drove a GS. 2 years later, I'm still happy with the choice.

Just going from fwd to rwd is a huge upgrade in driving experience....enjoy

As far as your spoiler, there are some decent inexpensive options online, and to be honest with you...you don't need to drill, the 3m double sided adhesive will work just fine by itself

Congrats on the purchase!

I got my spoiler (non-fsport) from SSLexusParts from ebay (they also sell on amazon). Below are a few links:

Looks good....like I said earlier, you can do the instal without drilling into the trunk and using only 3m tape....take your time and line it up right, you might want a friend to help....once it's on it's not coming off with out a fight

Thanks vinnier6 and ALLex19 for the info on the spoiler. Will the '15 work on the '16?

Yeah most definitely. The body style and trunk are the same so the spoiler will certainly work. I've seen a few '16 GS's for sale with the same non-f sport spoiler that I mentioned in my previous threads. Ones like these:

Guys here are some pictures of my GS. I will be taking it to get a clear bra and tint done next week. I will also be ordering the spoiler, rear bumper applique, illuminated door sills and a Nav bypass next week.
