Kind of seems silly, but I didn’t realize the car had a HUD when I bought it. Silly thing was adjusted so far down that I couldn’t see it during the test drive!

Heads Up Display - Never a dumb question, it's how we learn and make sure we're talking about the same thing...

Hi guys. I have 2018 GS 350 F sport. When I put Reverse and one of mirrors buttons is ON (L or R) mirrors go down. When I click second time (disable mirror selecting (L or R) mirrors go back to normal position. It is useful because mirror down position to see curb is not always needed.

The Lexus clock actually has a small chrome dome in the middle of the clock that reflects the LED's from the hour hands. It's a very small detail but pretty non the less if you take a careful look.

LOL I was wondering when someone was going to ask that....sadly, it's Photoshop

It started as something fun to do for Christmas, I took a crop of an image from the rain and did this:



After the holidays I was going to change things back to my standard version of that image but I decided to remove the green layer and just leave the F in red. When I did that I realized it looked pretty cool - it would be awesome if you could get F sport badges where the F was colored in a color of your choosing - you could match it to your brake calipers, etc... It would be an awesome bit of color on a silver, white, or black car. Even on one of the other colors it could be cool - like a USB with the F in Molten Pearl.

I would think a good autobody place could do it - it just likely wouldn't be worth the price. I think you could likely also do it yourself - mask it off, scuff it, prime it, paint it, clear coat it but the trick would be to get the right primer so the paint would stick properly and the and right paint/clear coat so the color wouldn't fade. If you (or someone else) tries it make sure to post photos!

So I just discovered after owning my 2015 GS 350 F-Sport for almost 18 months that it has mood lights. It was definitely a pleasant surprise.

Not sure if it was designed for this but the oil cap sits perfectly in this semi circle cut out when setting it aside.

Turning off Surround Sounds and ASL on my ML sounds system was the best thing I have found/learned from CL.

Thank you, CL.
