08' Opaline white GS460's new home
So we found this for my wife after months of searching! Single owner, non-smoker, never left Texas, low miles, maintained at Sewell, perfect condition. We flew out to Sewell Ft. Worth and drove it home. My wife is Happy and in love with it, which is what matters most! Big upgrade for her from an 02' Accord EX v6. You have to excuse the messy Garage. Got a rebuild going on right now.
First thing I noticed was the lack of mudguards, so that's the first mod.

Congratulations. It looks gorgeous. Coincidentally, I am picking up a 2008 GS460 for my wife this weekend. Opaline white in the photo sure looks like the one I'm getting but the seller said his is Starfire Pearl White. What state are you in and are there mods on that lawn tractor of yours? jk

I will snap a few more this weekend, with a better camera
yes this opaline pearl has a hint of silver/grey hue to it when it's parked next to any other white car. The pearl really glows in the sunlight also, very nice colors.
yes we will have to stay on top of keeping the interior clean for sure. The tan in my LS430 is bad enough to keep clean, even with scotchguard on the carpet.
not really seeing any body molded splash-mudguards for this vehicle either, unless I'm searching in the wrong areas. if I have to, I will custom make some from Fiber Resin and color match.

weathertech makes them for our cars... Although they're not up to par with the Lexus OEM ones. There was a recall on the Lexus OEM ones so whoever has them is very lucky and fortunate .
I still have mines and they're GREAT!
I have the same interior as you, except my exterior's Silver.... So I feel your pain .
EDIT:I forgot to say, I also use the scotchguard.... There is just no stopping the interior from getting dirty though LOL! Keep me up on details if you find better solutions outside of the scotchguard carpet protectant!

Scotchguard worked really well in the Accord tan interior, maybe because of thinner material matting?? And I found OEM Black floor mats, plus I like these as well, even though it's not an "F" sport per say lol

I'm going to sift through the GS forum and see what easter eggs come up about this car, this is why I love CL
Okay, so I see now how rare these cars really are, hence the lack of performance mods and professional tuner interest, lol but it's my wife's car so that's okay with me. I already have my toy.
