Default New Canadian GS-F Owner.

Hi Everyone,

I also just bought a GS-F, it is a Canadian 2016 USB2.0 with 41k kms or 25k miles, thought I would introduce myself here. I have been eyeing on this car for so many years, and I finally got it...

It was a clean one owner trade in to a local bmw dealership and needless to say I grabbed it ASAP as the price was a steal.

I have been eyeing on a IS-F for so many years until the IS-F got too old and moved my interest to GS-F.

My precious cars consist of 2005 Mazda 3, 2013 Scion FR-S, 2010 BMW M3 sedan, 2015 Scion FRS. I was also pretty active on torontomazda3, ft86club and m3post.

I currently own a 2017 CRV touring and now the newly purchased GS-F.

Here is the pic I took on delivery day:



EDIT: I still did not get a chance to do the interior shots, but if anyone from the US is curious about Canadian Specs here is what I see that is extra:

*Power trunk
*Rear automatic and side manual sunshades
*Heated steering wheel
*Rear seat controls, which can control the 3rd zone climate and the stereo and sun shades.
*Wavy black trim, instead of carbon fiber.
*NO ENFORM, or SOS button.

Congrats you should post some interior pics as well, as I know a couple people on the forum looking for a Canadian spec GS-F and would love to see interior.

Top one is the shelf that goes in the glovebox and the bottom is a coin tray that goes in the center console.

Has anyone seen anything like this? Seems like the previous owner extended the base of the seat belt clip.

The previous owner is a pretty big elderly person so I imagine he did this for ease of access but anyone seen anything like this or know how to return it to original?

thanks

I'd bet once you remove the driver's seat, you can remove the extension bracket that's on there. Once you do that, the original bracket will go back on the floor tunnel like it is meant to. You wil need a new anchor bolt that Lexus sells.
