What did you do to your GS today?

Just picked her up yesterday, didn't have time to take pics of her, but these are from the shop before the PPI.
I think first up on the agenda is get rid of the oxidation on the headlights. Then hopefully get my detailing tools from the states soon so I can correct the paint.

Thanks! Yep, just moved up here at the beginning of the year. Got rid of a 4th gen GS back home, and now a 2nd gen GS up here. Just when I thought I was leaving the CL forums, it pulled me right back in 😂.

Yeah I did my lights just now with the 3M Kit - Wet Stand - came out looking BRAND NEW in 1 hour for all 4. $20
Going to Jet Seal them next (expensive $50 stuff but will make them last 1 year vs 3 months)
The Beast is back after Cat Back Exhaust, Pull Carpets, Paint Back Bumper, Interior Detail, Lube all the BJ and Arms.......
Buffed lights with 3M kit back to brand new no haze no yellow.
Interior Detail almost looks brand new after 20 years still.
Leather no rips luster!
Painted back bumper and Cat Back Pipes
Stainless Steel Chrome Catback off Ebay fits perfect, looks mint, sounds good, $350 USD

Just teasing you. There’s an on going thread about steering wheels w/ the chrome Lexus logo; It’s an option on some airbags.

It took 4-5 hours total. It was pretty straightforward. Just be patient the starter bolts are in an awkward location but after a couple minutes it was easy.

First mod in my "newish" car. Switched out stock bulbs to LED. Vanity LED's, logo courtesy lights, and footwell LED's should be coming in soon. The 194/T5 bulbs were too big

Can't remember if its smooth or rough surface...

Replaced the old/broken hood struts with a $30 pair from Amazon. Had some problems taking off the 12mm bolt and almost rounded them but luckily found a quality wrench to take them off. Hood works good as new now!
I also realize, I need to buy or remove that sound deadening? material underneath the hood, it's an eyesore.
After I took the picture of engine, I found an area on the hood where the paint was distorted. Upon further inspection it looks like the paint is cracking, like something fell on it or something, there isn't a dent just a crack. Any idea on what I can do to repair it?

Its basically a sheet of thick plastic (google it) but it’s not to expensive for a big enough sheet and would protect the paint.
I just started using it and love the stuff; it’s nearly invisible and no more rock chips.

Well, I am planning to sell or exchange my lease car "Lexus UX UX 250h AWD" Anyone is here that suggest me how I transfer my lease because I have no idea on these matters.
