The parking assist interfaces with the GS sound only. It is my understanding this there is no display feature on the GS NAV system as with the LS all-around parking assist. Is that true with your GS300 or not?

I don't have the assist feature in my GS, but I thought I saw (in my manual) extensive nav display and dash/info display features. One of the guys who has this option and actually uses it will know.
Do you get audio indication of side proximity? I think that would be valuable since I ruined the alloy wheels on my G35 by scraping them on the curb in front of my home!

so you got half of a park assist.
the ES350 all-around park assist shows a vehicle 'radar' diagram on the nav screen, pinpointing the specific part of the car that is too close to the obstacle.
the GS must have it too.

GS of course has it and the "closeness" to the obstacles are shown on the display area under the speedometer as well

Yeah, but we saved $7,000
Thanks for everyone's feedback/input.
Cheers

The pin striping looks nice. I certainly would not have the steady hand for such a task.
As to the park assist, I didnt realize I was getting it on my 08, but I love it. People in my car are always commenting on it. Front and rear, plus it will tell you if it is front/rear at an angle. Displays with the rear view camera as well.

^, I too wish they could pick up the curbs and those pesky front bumpers in the parking spaces.
I have never been a pinstripe person, but the GS looks sweet with it, quite classy actuallty.

Thanks
to all of you who liked the pinstripes; and those that prefer no pinstripes, I totally understand your sentiments. The lines on our 06 IS250 were so great with the color we chose (Metallic Sage) that to have put pinstripes on it would have ruined it. But these two cars we got were lacking something, in our opinion, so we went with the pinstripes and are pleased with the results.

You added some different tastes to your car. I like it.
As for the sensors, I am planing on doing this mod with both front and back. My understanding is that when you step on the brake, the front sensors are engaged vs. putting into the reverse gear to engage the rear sensors.

I am not a big fan of pin stripes either, but it doesnt look half bad. I think they did a great job. The most important thing is that you like it
