I had that done on my white GS350 Fsport. If you look through my profile photos, I even had the front bumper matched CF twill wrapped too. However nice it was on the white GS I'm not to motivated to do the same to the Atomic Silver GS. I kinda like it as is.

Personally I would think about gloss black wrap on the roof, it would make it look like it has panoramic roof. I've always like silver body and black roof scheme but it's not for everybody or every car...

I actually don't care for the look on the GS. To look good I think it needs to have the window edges match up with the edge of the gloss back roof. It doesn't on the GS.

I'll have to admit, you've made me seriously consider trading my '13 GS for a '15 GS in Atomic Silver/Cabernet. That is probably the best exterior/interior combo. However, I want to drive the new RC first but unless it blows me away I doubt I will move away from the GS.

Of course, the other thing to consider is how substantial the '16 refresh will be. If history is any indicator, the car won't look much different, but these days Lexus is pulling some surprises out of the hat.

Wait for the 2016...I will almost guarantee it will have at least a new front clip with the full spindle and new taillights, new wheels.

The struggle is real!! LoL. Or better yet hold off for the GS-F 500hp (alleged) with all the luxury we can appreciate. Said to be launched in 2016. Btw the AS with Cabernet is stellar in person. Everything I see in the Race Coupe series looks solid, RC350 F-Sprt RC-F styling got me drooling! I'm sold on this GS though...just enough getup (future Invidia exhaust plans with X-pipe) and plenty of comfort!

Problem is the RC will have the IS interior, so that means it'll be super tight inside just like the IS. Plus that screen is just too damn small after having the GS screen. Looks like I'm going to have to pass on that one.

Now if it's a GS Coupe then it'll be a different story.

RC will not blow u away, its ok.
Under WOT, GS is actually louder inside due to sound generator.

I personally think the IS350 is the best choice of the 3, if u dont need the extra rear room.

My lease is up in 2016 so im very interested to see what updates the GS will get, chief among them - it needs a new Engine badly!
The lease prices on the GS are unreal right now too - hope they last until 2016.

Quick question for anyone/everyone. Does anyone have good sound clips for the Invidia Q300 Full Exhaust w/X-pipe? I want to purchase but have not found much on this. I contacted someone at Redline so they can talk to Invidia for fitment on the 2015 GS350 FSprt. Redline says a 2014 "should fit" the 2015, but don't want to run on should.

As it is, it appears to fit reasonably well even though it isn't perfect. None of the factory emblems on the car sit flush either and you can see 1-2mm of the adhesive backing between the body panel and the emblems, although they do have the proper curve. The F Sport trunk badge is a little less even due to lacking that proper curve but again you only see that around the edges. From any normal viewing angle it's hard to tell the difference. But if details are your thing, it might stick in the back of your mind a bit. I'll definitely post pics tomorrow, I'm at work right now so I can't.
Hey wifibear, any pics of the emblem? I'm about to pull the trigger from Sewell and convert mine to 2015. And I've looked everywhere and the part number seems to be the same as urs.

That looks like a perfect fit to me. Thanks Hiep!

But is it just me or the GS rear looks weird with that badge? Now I'm having second thoughts..
