Nice AJLex19! How I think the original just flows so much better than the added front body updates in later years, that it was not originally made for. Now I do like the GS F front, but the 16+, not so much.

Thanks for the kind words fellas!
@jgscott Certainly pros and cons to the pre-refresh and post refresh from driving dynamics, build quality, styling and safety. The pre-fresh have their own look/personality - the newer GS's look a tad more aggressive IMHO but the GS F is on a whole separate level of amazing. I've only ever seen two GS-F's in person in ultrasonic blue and atomic silver and both look outstanding.
@JUTMSS32 Definitely stock suspension on my AWD, no suspension mods for me - certainly the angle of the picture might make it appear with lesser wheel gap front/back...and quite possibly the road where I was parked because its on a very slight gradient.
Lookin good in the shade. I hardly take the time to appreciate the looks anymore. Can't believe I think about selling it sometimes but with this car market it's definitely on my mind sometimes lol
it's a matte wrap but in direct sunlight it has a nice sheen to it and you can even see some sparkles up close. In person it looks like more of a satin finish
@Kingmatt24 I sent you a PM. I had a couple of questions about the front lip spoiler. If you have a few minutes it would be much appreciated if you could check it out. Thanks in advance.
@peasodos The finish looks awesome on those. I thought you had the Lexus ES noise reduction wheels in a black finish - just another upgrade for you? Did you get these from hubcaphaven as well?

I wanted to get rid of the 5mm spacer on the front wheels I was using for the ES rims. PVD Black chrome looks better than gloss Black. In some lighting it's a gunmetal. Time for a change, I always liked the design of the GS lux rims, looks more exotic than the ES design IMO.
I got these from The Wheel Exchange, $1499 shipped to my door. Total shipped weight was 128 lb.
I figured I'd get around $1200 for the ES rims. So a few hundred dollars for a change. Pictures don't do Black chrome justice, can't wait to see these on the car in the sunlight.
Pic from last night...PIAA Ion Yellow fogs burnt out after about 5yrs and they don't make "Ion Yellow" anymore ... switched to cheaper Hella yellow bulbs. I think they are good but seemingly not as bright as the PIAA's. I'm satisfied overall though since today's comparable PIAA bulbs would've cost twice as much. Here's a shot of the Optilux by Hella yellow H11 halogen fogs:
