You didn't take out the lens out of the trunk, license plate cover, or the emblems. They'll probably spray right over those. You better make it clear you want the exhaust covered or that will get painted as well.

Thanks. I went back and told them to yank the emblems and cover my pipes. Yea. Wish I’d pulled the trunk lenses too but no bigggie if they shoot it; I’m sure they will - lol

curious to see how the Maaco job turns out. I was just thinking today about Maazo actually how much they would charge to spray the front and rear bumpers.. But my TTE lip is molded so that could confuse them lol.. keep us updated.. thanks

Nice. Even the polar vortex we recently had will not slow down my GS300 either. It starts right up at -50F with no wired sounds or anything like that. I had to give two people a jump with my Lexus but I also keep the battery filled to the proper level and in good shape too.

Not too bad! Can’t wait to wet sand and polish after a month or so.

Actually, not just "today"... just a catch-up... 
Struts all around. That fixed the front-end resonance, over bump roads... to the point of being dangerous. And the upper control arms (might have already posted that).
This week was front brakes... rotors, pads and hardware, and left caliper (one of the two pistons had seized, the other caliper was ok)... that fixed the steering wheel shake, under braking at highway speeds... to the point of being dangerous. Drive amazingly smoother, now.
Today was the right-rear ABS sensor, to get rid of a code. Didn't work, might have to return this eBay purchase. Argh.

Just got the car 2 weeks go, but PO had left the oil change for me to do.
Completed oil change with Valvoline Maxlife and new filter. Dropped 2qts from trans and refilled with Maxlife ATF...definitely runs smoother and while the trans fluid wasn't burnt or too discolored it was on the high end of mileage as it wad dark red. Shifts smoother and lighter.
I had checked the surround on the Pioneer sub and it looked good, impedance checked out on Multi-meter as well. I installed an old school Lanzar Opti Plus 50 amp I had in storage. Its 125RMSx1@2ohms. A little overhead, but it sounds great and it will hold me over until I decide what direction I want to go in.
Oh and took my Yukon to the gas station since I have only driven it twice since I got the GS3 and it was nearly empty. Definitely enjoying my better MPG on the GS.
