At this point not as good as yours. Going to do annual paint correction this winter.

I have the parts, F Sport upper lower front grills, Lux Spoiler, SK style front lip which I have sanded and primer-ed so far, just waiting on the mud guards and then I am going to spray everything black with 2K clear. I have painted the calipers copper and put some plugs in the license plate holes. Other then that I think the only other thing I will do is a new shift **** with wood, copper, or chrome accent, and the DVD bypass. I don't think I will do new wheels or lowering unless I find a wheel I just can't resist but that will be down the line.

Couldn't agree more with UDel, nicest GS I've seen so far! Just very clean and set up just right. I went more conservative white with 20" polished silver and if it looks 1/2 as good as yours I'll be thrilled. Josh from Meraki reached out to me but I used my guy here in S FL. .

Saw this GSF in for service at my local Lexus dealer today. Thought you guys might appreciate. 20" Vossen VS10

I saw this done on an older thread as well with the rear valence painted to match: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...-diffuser.html

I wanted to get mine painted gloss black but my body shop guy said it would get chipped and damaged quick being in NYC. He recommended plasti-dip lol

Yours came out great!

when I was at the dealer getting OEM suspension part numbers for my 2015 GS450h, I found out that all part numbers are the same minus the front springs. Part number had a one number difference on the end. Lexus said that the suspension is the same but they decided to make a 2-3% difference in the spring rate at the factory on the front springs from 2014 -2015. So many times, the part number is pretty much the same for the model (4GS), but you have to research it. Because of the slight difference, I had called Tanabe and RSR directly asking why some companies had model years that stopped at a certain year. They said it is pretty much the same, but because they had only tested it on that model year, they only advertise for it. So I went to Lexus and got the part numbers for all of the 4GS from 2013 - 2018 and that's how I was able to figure out the lowering springs for my car.

Car is looking nice!!! What offsets did you end up getting? Now its time to black out the chrome trim..

Thank you! I will get specs from my guy. From behind they sit flush with fender (I'll post another pic), however I wanted them to sit a bit inside wheel well. I may shave them a little after I do alignment when springs settle. After a lot of research and reading posts, the drop and ride is what I was looking for. By myself, car rides great! I think it's a little more sporty then stock. Only complaint so far, if you typically have extra weight in the car, tires will rub. Just drove home with my wife and three teenagers in back (I figured the teens were total 360 lbs and my wife is not that heavy lol) and tires rubbed on every bump and dip in road. I guess it comes with the territory if your goal is the look.

I did the black out thing on my last car so was going a little more conservative and less sporty this time. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thank you! My original idea was to wrap it titanium. My Audi had titanium on the diffuser and I liked the look. It also gives the car a different look from behind. Every car today has a black diffuser. I figured I'd paint it first and see how it looked. My guy is good and fair, $200. If it gets chipped I will wrap it to match the wheels.
