2007 GS3500 Starfire Pearl w/Ash, ML/NAV, PA and etc.

I actually got this back on 8/25/07...but I have logged 1600 miles to date. The photos below were all taken that same Saturday. I already had 250 miles by the end of the day driving all over SoCal from picking it up in the morning, going to a friend's birthday party, meeting up with friends at the Taste of Lexus Evening Edition later in the day then ending my day in Downtown LA for HIN.

Longo Lexus - El Monte, CA






Taste of Lexus Evening Edition - Santa Anita, CA


HIN LA Convention Center - Los Angeles, CA




I'll post more photos later and some observances of the GS during my NorCal trip this past weekend including brake dust, MPG experience and etc.

wow.. i guess the gray interior looks better than I thought... awesome! I can't wait to get mine

edit: question, I think I might get my car in Longo too, how did you secure a car that's not already pre drilled with front license plates?

Very nice. Hope you got a good deal on her. The interior, although very tasteful, just doesn't look right without a wood trim around the passenger side dash. They really should have had a continuous wood trim going across the dash. Oh well... maybe some aftermarket wood, or faux wood, could do.

AWWW. I was looking for the same color combo and options but couldn't find one in the LA area. I bought my Starfire w/ tan two days before you.

Nice car though. Your car looks better then mine .
