They will ship your new CF wheel first, then you swap wheels. Send back your OEM to them for core credit exchange. You don't have to send back your OEM wheel, but that means you don't get core credit back. Red Start button is found on Amazon. Search for "ijdmtoys start button Lexus GS"

Does he have a website? i don't plan on doing any carbon fiber but i do wish the steering wheel was a bit thicker. my tacoma trd sport steering wheel was way thicker than the GS and im curious as to why lexus did that because a thick steering wheel changes the whole feel of the car and a great addition imo

There was a group buy for entire start button assembly with custom F Sport logo back in the days, but the assembly didn't fit quite well, tricky to install and really expensive ($149 I think). So this is the best alternative for me. It's kinda cheap looking, but the red color does the job for me. You can opt for red TRD start button found on eBay. But I don't like anything TRD on my Lexus.

Installed the fronts of these mudguards, but too lazy to jack up the rear to remove the wheels for the back side. Don't mind the dirty car, the weather's been kinda crazy out here.

Bought th 2018 cop GS 350 AWD last week. Has stock 18” wheels with Michelin Primacy tires. Had a 13 model previously with Pirelli UHP all season and 19” wheels and believe it was better ride. Due to wheel diameter or tire category?

Maybe due to differences in 2013-2015 and 2016+ models. See these threads:

Did your 2013 have the luxury package with Adaptive Variable Suspension?
