You obviously know that you can unlock your doors by touching the handle (keyless entry)...but did you know you can lock them as well using the keyless method?

I thought that was pretty common knowledge. Cars have had that for years. Lexus does a good job of "hiding" the button by using color keyed buttons. My Avalon has a nice black button on all four doors.

I did my first oil change on my 13 GS350 AWD today at 54,792. Still not thrilled with the canister, special filter wrench and o-rings. I got it done. I put a hose on the canister drain to keep it from running down my arm. That helped. At least there is 10,000 miles between now and the next one.

It was interesting to find a drop catching pad on the filter access cover. I cleaned it off from road debris and put it back.

Where did you get the knifeless tape? Was it easy to work with? I'm thinking I want to black out my grille chrome and the bright work around the windows now that my windows are tinted.

It was actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it. I pulled off the passenger side off first and messed up the lines, but on the driver side I pulled it off pretty clean.

My mistake was pulling the whole tape instead of just the small string that's adhered to the tape.

Did you wrap the chrome bezel too? How did you tuck the vinyl around the grill area? I am tempting to do the same with my GS. Thanks.

Painted the fog light grills with matching color. Did a little mod on the passenger side with the cold air intake duct hole ( see pictures ). Did a delete yellowish side markers on the front headlights as well. Sorry for the crappy pictures from my old phone. I will take some better pictures later on.

All in due time...It's plasti dipped at the moment, but going to peel it off and vinyl wrap it in the coming weeks.
