I saw the RSR downs and was curious about that so I'm glad someone can provide a little feedback about them. I have always wanted to do coil overs for other vehicles in the past and heard they provide that extra level of comfort, just want to make sure I find a good quality set. As for the intake and exhaust, would you mind providing a video or sound clip? lol silly question but I don't want to purchase something that I'll be unhappy with. I've been looking at RR-Racing website and they don't even have intake systems for the 2017+ GS 350. I've been interested in their Apexi exhaust system they offer but haven't had a lot of luck with any other "performance" parts.

New Lexus owner from the Netherlands here, although I have read the forums for a while.
1. 2013 GS 450h F-Sport, 77,000 miles.
2. Obsidian Black / Topaz Leather
3. Nav and Mark Levinson
4. RWD
5. Dynamic Rear Steer
6. Planned mods? For now: 22-inch wheels, aftermarket subwoofer
7. What other cars were you considering? Varied from an Alfa Romeo Guilia/Stelvio to a Renault Escpace. In the end I chose the Lexus because of the combination of rarity, comfort, power and reliability.
9. What did this replace: Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV 2015

@Flavio Super rare to see an F-Sport GS 450h and on top of that with Levinson and a Flaxen interior. Beautiful choice - enjoy!

Nice... I really wanted an LS460 but the GS was the best choice available 3 yrs ago.

Welcome to the board.

Default Hello...

Hello everyone. Just joined Club Lexus. I recently sold my 2019 Lapiz Blue Golf R DSG and decided to get a new Lexus. I love the 360 camera, Mark Levison sound system, the adaptive dampers, BBS etc... I had to go all-wheel drive, because I live in Anchorage Alaska. I really think Lexus did an incredible job on the refreshed exterior! I don't have too many plans for it. To be honest, I really like it the way it is. I'm certainly not as ambitious as a lot of other members with all of their cool upgrades.

One of the pictures I took before I said I need to think about it overnight...

I love these mirrors

So sexy!

A picture of me making sure it fits in my garage. Shortly afterwards, I had my sons remove all their stuff.

In the delivery bay.

Probably my favorite photo.


Just enough space between my 19 R1.

Wife drives a 2016 Highlander Platinum (we middle class fancy).

Bought through Carmax Dealer Auction in Fort Worth Texas so have only seen it in pictures but its a 2 owner accident free car with 158k and great service history...I plan on driving it til it dies or I buy a Tesla as a DD. Hopefully it will show up on the truck in the next 2 weeks. I'll throw some pictures up here if its not a turd.

Hello all! Just introducing myself back to CL after quite a few years without a Lexus.

1. GS (Premium, Luxury, or F-sport) 2014 F Sport
2. Color exterior/interior Liquid Platinum/Black
3. Nav or No Nav / Mark Levinson or No ML Nav/No ML
4. RWD or AWD AWD
5. Dynamic Rear Steer or no DRS No DRS
6. Planned mods? Tint, coilovers, 20in wheels, chrome delete, front lip
7. What other cars were you considering? What did this replace or add to? I was looking into either an IS350 or a GS350. Came from a 2019 Honda Civic Si, and decided it was time to get back into a Lexus. Found this as a local trade with only 58k on it, so I jumped on it right after a test drive. I'm excited to own this car and modify it slightly as I remember really liking the 4GS when Lexus debuted it back in 2012.

1. GS (Premium, Luxury, or F-sport): 2018 F-Sport
2. Color exterior/interior: Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0/Flaxen
3. Nav or No Nav / Mark Levinson or No ML: Nav/ML
4. RWD or AWD: RWD
5. Dynamic Rear Steer or no DRS: No DRS
6. Planned mods?: None
7. What other cars were you considering? What did this replace or add to?: Considered a Jaguar XF Sportbrake, 2022 BMW M240i, Genesis G70, Jaguar F-Type, Lexus RC F, or just keeping my 2018 VW GTI. Previously owned a 2001 GS300 L-Tuned, 1995 LS400 (with 340k+ miles), and 2002 IS300 Sportcross before the GTI. Saw this 2018 GS pop up locally in the exact spec I wanted and had to get it.


Had to get a photo of it contrasting with my brother's Alfa Romeo Giulia in our apartment driveway. Certainly works better than my red GTI that I had. Happy to be back in a Lexus.

Default First time 4GS owner, well the wife is at least.

Hey everyone, six months ago some dirtbag hit my wife's 2007 3GS while she was on the freeway then he bailed. Unfortunately she could not catch up to him to get a plate; he was driving extremely evasively.
And to top it off the insurance totaled the car.
I took great care of this car and it was running just like it did on day one.
See pics below.





And of course it has taken nearly 6 months to find a replacement. But we finally did.
2019 4GS F Sport
White on black
RWD
NAV/ML
No DRS
Sorry for the crummy pics.
