Question My introduction

Hello folks,
I just bought my GS350 S191. I am the proud third owner and it has 149k miles. This is my first Lexus and I am loving it. I have some topics for discussion please. I'm certain existing posts exist so please feel free to point me in that direction (with links). My summer car is an MX-5 NB2 that I've made a lot of modifications to but I keep it super clean and OEM+ looking. I know my way around a wrench, but this is my first Lexus.

0) Any good websites that cater specifically to GS350 aftermarket parts?
1) My exhaust is a bit pitted and I need to replace it. I wouldnt mind being able to hear the motor a bit more and letting it breath, but I want to avoid becoming very loud.
2) Any good cold air intakes? Does this car gain anything from it?
3) Aftermarket audio, I've heard good things about the Grom Vline2. Any thoughts about it/any options that compete with it?
4) Tail lights, show me some examples of cool tail lights I can get my hands on.
5) Smoking rails with chrome and strong adhesive. See pic for example.

Chrome smoking rails with strong adhesive.

I look forward to getting to know the members of the community. Let me know any other advice or any "should knows" and "do's and don'ts" of this car and this community. Thank guys.

I'm filling out this shirt a little too well,

Dean Taylor

I've seen lexuspartsnow.com recommended a few times, not much of an aftermarket scene unfortunately
RR Racing has various kit for GS350 including exhaust (I think), a tune and other
From what I've read, the car doesn't benefit from cold air intake
Grom Vline2 seems to be a good product when it works, their customer support is very hands off
See this post about the Vline experience: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...-feedback.html
Haven't seen any aftermarket tail lights but sounds cool
