Is it normal to have certain amount of jerkiness when downshift into certain gears? I was in manual mode in sport+ when I was testing this.
As I recall, the higher gears 'jolted' more noticeably then lower gears.

Oh well.. Can you share a picture, it would be great to at least see what these are like. I don't know why they don't offer them as a option on the F-Sport. Lexus's options mapping it whack. Almost no one, regardless of whether they want a GS350 F-Sport, GS350 Luxury , or a GS-F, can get every option they want.

Indeed. I have them in my Highlander and they are a great feature. I wish they were in my F Sport.

Is it pispossi to retrofit them in? I'm assuming you need to buy new door panels?

This has been discussed on the GS F forum. Ridiculously expensive unless you can find used parts somewhere.

Are you rev-matching?

Favorite features I did not know I had, rear side window and quarter window sunshades, I thought it only had the rear power shade, swivel headlights which I did not know it had and really only notice when driving in my neighborhood, puddle lights in mirrors. The interior lighting strip along the wood trim on the doors I was really surprised about, I did not even notice that until I was on vacation and parking at a hotel, I saw it in the manual but thought it was just a rare option I did not have but when I was sitting I saw the light coming from the door trim. I was pleasantly surprised it had a auto trunk opener/closer too.

Having full-speed DRCC. I was under the impression that 2015 MY GS's (when a vehicle is in front) only slow down to 25mph before disengaging DRCC, but tested it out yesterday with my foot anxiously on the brake pedal. I'm glad no one saw my fist pump when my car actually came to a complete stop as well when the car in front stopped at a red light.

Of course I got honked at when the car in front started speeding away with the green light, it's unfortunate even the newer systems can't resume from a stop.

Did it hold the vehicle at a stop on its own? On the 2016+ cars, to resume after being stopped for a period of time, you have to wait for the display to show the vehicle in front moving and tap the resume stalk or tap the gas pedal. I would assume this is how it works on yours too since it's the all-speed system.
