I got my Borla S Type Axleback installed! This is how the GS should've sounded stock!

Got rid of the last remaining piece of exterior chrome! I used a carbon fiber print vinyl wrap on the exhaust tips, it certainly won’t last forever but I think it turned out nicely. I’m no expert with wrapping but I’m definitely getting better.

before

and after

hardest part of the job was taking off the diffuser so I could remove the exhaust tips

Installed my front camera in preparation for being lowered. Not that I pull into many spots

I love the white most on my 2013, but the silver really has awesome contrast in the right light....

Yeah, liquid platinum has an interesting pearlescent in it. It looks cool under different lights

Not mine. But watch for a few tasteful upgrades.

Changed out my rear differential fluid today on my 2018 with 40,500 miles. I was surprised to see how dirty it was and glad i changed it now. Drives a lot smoother not sure if this is a placebo effect heheh.

I changed the oil and filter for the first time on my 1-year old 2013. I'm glad that someone recommended a

Motivx oil filter wrench.

The filter housing was so tight that even with that tool, I still needed a 24 inch long ratchet to open it.

Then I logged the oil and filter change on the official Lexus service history page. That is such a neat page.
