thanks! I can't believe how in love I am with the stock look of this ride! BTW I'm up in Canada so all that's up here is pretty much AWD, and all models seem to get the triple LED treatment. Just installed a CF duckbill which completes the super sleeper look

Might look into getting 19's with some more tire on them.

Welcome to the club. Looking sharp. Nikon owner too? I still think it's one of the best designs for the money.

Congrats and welcome to the club. You will enjoy this car... but not so much with the gas station. Switch to S+ and hear some noise. What's interior color?

Great choice (aka I had the same car. Lol) I had the middle part of the bumper plastidipped. I really liked it.

What's Good Everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself to this board. I've owned my 4GS for almost 2 years now (purchase used) and will start my build in a couple of weeks.
My IG handle is https://www.instagram.com/sabadaking/

2. Color exterior/interior

White exterior with red leather interior

3. Nav or No Nav / Mark Levinson or No ML

Not sure but I don't believe I have DRS

Scheduled to bag my car in a month. I purchase the Airlift 3P kit with 1/4" lines and Shinigami struts.

7. What other cars were you considering? What did this replace or add to?

  • 1st gen Acura TLX
  • Audi S5 Coupe
  • 3rd gen Audi A6 (C6)

1. GS 350 F-sport
2. It’s the metallic black exterior/Black interior
3. Nav / Mark Levinson or No ML - Nav / Mark Levinson
4. RWD
5. Dynamic Rear Steer or no DRS - Don't think so
6. Planned mods? - plenty of planned mods. Would like to do CAI, exhaust & headers (if possible) with a tune. Brixton Forged or Variant Wheels with Michelin Tires. Tint. Coil over springs.
7. What other cars were you considering? - Was interested in the RC 350 F or Corvette Grand Sport. What did this replace or add to? - This replaced my 2014 Silverado, this is just something I’ve wanted in the back of my mind for a while ever since my grandfather had one.

Default 2014 Starfire Pear Base W/ Luxury package

After my 2016 IS200t was totaled in January, I decided to join the GS family. Seemed like a could get better options and more power at a lower price with the GS. Living in Phoenix I was searching specifically for a white vehicle with a light brown interior and that’s exactly what I found. I’ve been super happy with the car thus far. Here are the mods so far;

Engine; Invidia Q300 axel back exhaust. AEM intake.

suspension; RSR Downs springs with Tanabe strut tower brace.

Brakes; R1 cross drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads, rattle can caliper paint

Wheels: I went with some cheap niche replica wheels to replace the stock 18’s. The tires had too much life left to justify replacing the wheels and tires. Maybe some Black Chrome 19s in the future

Exterior: Chrome delete, vinyl wrapped roof, tinted headlights and taillights, ceramic tint on ALL the windows. Carbon fiber mirror caps and antenna cap.

Interior: I got an RVinyl carbon fiber dash kit to cover all the wood trim pieces. It turned out great and I’ll add some pictures soon.

Coming soon: carbon fiber roof spoiler, front lip, Invidia mid pipe.

Looking good. Welcome to the GS family. Have you thought about blacking the center of the bumper? It would look nice. Btw, push that wiper down.

I have considered it! Seems like an easy and inexpensive upgrade, I think I’m sold on the idea. Thanks for the suggestion. LOL I always run the wipers after going through the wash I swear they don’t normally stick up like that. I’m also considering a black carbon fiber wrap for the roof molding strips, I thought it looked off with the black roof and white molding so I went cheap and used plasti-dip.

Just picked up this ultra white 2014 F-sport RWD w/ 74k miles, nav , no ML . Just installed the VioFo A119 dashcam. Unsure on the first mod but might start with some cosmetics... black vinyl roof and/or taillights...
I come from BMW 325i , 335i , Audi A4 3.0 , VW Jetta 1.8t , Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland (two) , Jeep Wrangler and '19 NX300 (wifes current). Most recently I had a 2006 IS350 but that was just stolen. It was black / tan with 102k miles. Perfect condition ! Sad really, but it led me to this beauty so I can't be too upset...
