I'm only asking because I have an fsport and wanted to do an interior conversion to a luxury interior, not seats, just wood grain (oem) inserts and steering wheel (oem).

just wondering if I would spend around the same for guys doing the exterior fsport conversion.
My GS already had the F Sport wheels and badges when I bought it. As for the bumpers (just the front) and rear spoiler, costing me in the range of $800 to $1000 as I am getting some custom additions to the paint and bumper. I'm keeping the luxury interior to have the best of both worlds haha so I have no idea the cost to convert interior parts.

I wouldn't think you would need to "sand" anything. Mine just peals off...it's really just tape afterall. If you want it removed, I would attempt to do so myself.

It may take a little cleaner/wax to remove any pin strip residue.

Just picked up my new 2016 Atomic Silver with black interior F Sport from Keyes earlier today. Had a 2 year lease on a 2015 F Sport nebula gray / cabernet which I returned last week.



Got a very good deal on this one. Decided to buy instead of leasing again. Took really good care of previous car but buyout for that one was only about $3,500 less than what I got the new one for so decided to just get a new 2016 one.

I wanted to get another color since previous one was gray and had plain silvers before gray. Actually got lucky with the Atomic Silver. It wasn't available on their online new car inventory but it was on their lot. I think they were supposed to trade it with Woodland Hills Lexus who offered me the same exact car for $1,100 more. I was choosing between nebula gray/black or liquid platinum/black interior. Found the atomic silver/black behind a red one in the back of the lot next to a black one. Took picture of VIN and sent it to sales associate. Did the paperwork on Friday but just picked up the car today after I gave them the cashier's check my credit union gave me Friday night.

My LS430 was silver with a black interior. The GS is silver too but has the noble brown interior which I love. If the GS would've had a black interior, I am unsure if I would have pulled the trigger as it would've been like the LS.

My LS and GS had/have the semi-aniline leather which is awesome.

Congrats! Atomic silver was my third choice, but it looks awesome in that lighting.

If you don't mind me asking, how much off of sticker did you negotiate? Also, what dealer did you purchase from? I'm curious what kind of deals people are getting on 16's now that the 17's are out. Great looking F-Sport, hope it lasts you many years!

Atomic Silver looks the best in florescent lighting at night!

I purchased my 2017 GS non from Longo Lexus a couple weeks ago during their December to Remember sales event. I'm not sure if you're specifically looking for F-Sport models, but for the non F-sport ones they said they were willing to take of 9K off the sticker price and around $3,500 off sticker for the 17 models. Hopefully that helps.

Sent you a pm. Got extended warranty through my credit union for about $500 (7 years/100,000 miles bumper to bumper) Mercury insurance

I like how the color somewhat changes depending on lighting conditions.

I was actually offered about $7500 discount about 2 weeks ago by a couple of dealerships in Los Angeles area for a 2017 Lexus GS F Sport. Wanted EVEN MORE discount so I just looked around and got a 2016. Not much difference between 2016 & 2017 anyway.
