Howzit everyone, I just got a new 2010 Lexus GS350 and traded in my old car over the weekend and wanted to introduce myself. I've been reading the forums the past couple weeks to get any advice or information current members had and it has been very helpful so I wanted to thank you all.

It's a Starfire Pearl with Tan interior, with Option A package. I really wanted either the black or gray interior but it was a hard color combo to find and I didn't want to wait. Look forward to being a part of the forum and start doing a few mods.

Thanks everyone. I will take some pics when I get my car back. I'm getting the F-Sport springs installed right now and won't have the car back until Monday.

Finally got a couple pics of my new GS.

I had F-Sport springs installed and tinted it 20%.

Let me know what you guys think.




Next mod on the list is exhaust. Debating between the F-Sport and Tanabe Medalion. The Tanabe would save me $650 or so.

Thanks Greyhndfan, the springs cost me $260 plus installation at Lexus. So total cost including install was $700 + tax. The ride is very good. I like the stiffer feeling, about 12% stiffer than stock.

Great pics! I always wanted to see an 08+ GS with F-Sport springs on stock wheels. 12% stiffer than stock! Intriguing statement...
