Had the smart key in my back pocket for the last week. Easily fits in my wallet, and reduces key bulk in my pockets.

I like your side skirts and front splitter. Do you mind posting the ebay link?

Got new valve stem covers. I’m a veterinarian so I thought the little paw prints were fitting. 🐾

It's the little touches we add that make a difference, even if I'm the only one who knows it's there.

Cleaning my car today and noticed this piece of filler material inbetween the seat and the center console, is this standard or something the previous owner put in? I tried removing it but it appears to be sewn onto the seat.

You can see it directly below the seatbelt:

That's normal... it prevents item like your phone, money, keys, etc. from falling in that space. If you ever had something drop down there in other cars, you would know how irritating that could be. These are some of the little details that Lexus paid attention to.

Thanks! It is a great idea, i just couldnt figure out if it was factory or aftermarket. My IS350 doesnt have it but i wish it did, the amount of things that have disappeared into that black hole gap...

It's standard on GS and I love this feature. I didn't see it on the ES also.

It's on my 14 RX too. Dropped my credit card there yesterday and it still fell to the floor between the console and the seat. I'm sure it works good for larger items.

I remember seeing these guys on shark tank with the "Drop Stop": https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/20/how-...m-business.htm

I thought, wait my GS already has that built in - but didn't realize how many cars didn't have it and those guys made millions!

Agreed with everyone that it certainly is these little things that make the GS a Grand Sedan.

I saw an info commercial that you can put a storage tray in that area also. I'm sure it doesn't fit in all cars.
