Hey guys and gals,
I don’t usually post but I would like some advice from the ones with knowledge.
I REALLY want to purchase an aftermarket air intake for 2014 GS 350 F-Sport, but I have no clue what to get. I had previously purchased the K&N Typhoon Air Filter and I really didn’t like it and returned it.
I’m torn between AEM and HPS, but if there are other options out there I’m open to them. Thanks for any advice.
Here is a couple of pics of my beautiful car 👇😍

Clean *** ride!
When it comes to an intake this is just my experience/opinion. The stock air box is fed by a inlet behind the front grille, and the filter is enclosed keeping air temps from the engine bay out. I was told from shops that sell takeda and other intakes that all you get is sound and the filter is now exposed to under hood temps because there is no more box. If you just want sound, takeda and those types are the way to go. I got a reusable/washable high flow AFE dry filter to put in the stock air box. I gained a couple MPG and remember the car feeling slightly better.. but I like that its getting cold air from the grille inlet.

New Wheels- Need Coilover suggestions please
Recently got a new pair of wheels/tires - I left a photo of the tires label for brand/specs et all.
Wheels are Curva C300 18x9.5
Tires/Wheels fit almost flush- Personally I think they look amazing on the GS350 F Sport
The tires at this size fit well with the car- there is slight rubbing in the front tires at a full turn- it's not much that rubs and I'm confident I can just cut out the parts on the front bumper that are touching.
No issues with back tires.
The ride definitely feels heavier than before- I do notice I need to press a bit more on the gas to get it moving- The ride is much much smoother for passengers tho! you feel the road a lot less as a passenger. the only problem I think I have with the feel of the ride is that
I'm currently sitting on STOCK suspension- I definitely need a tighter suspension to go with these big tires.
Does anyone have any suggestions?? I'm looking for the following:
- Keep the same ride height. It snows heavy where I live and this height is perfect to avoid getting stuck
- I don't want a full on sporty suspension. I'm looking for a balance of something only slightly tighter. My main priority is keeping the ride smooth (I will be installing some very sporty sway bars for cornering/turns but they don't really affect the feel of the ride when driving normal)

OEM 2019 F-Sport washer fluid reservoir.
2015 GS washer fluid reservoir. smaller size.
Anyone know what this cable for? White and white/black stripe. would this be the option for fog power cable?
Bought the spyder fog light kit. and installed OEM lexus fogs ( koito ) throw away the cheap led fogs that can with the kit.
Faster to install when you remove the bumper cover.
Done. Now i have to wire them up. That will be for another day. Tired, been raining.
