Smile Finally lowered my GS


Finally lowered my GS (RSR Downs). Looks pretty slick even with the OEM wheels. The ride is a bit firmer but I don't mind it. Hopefully, the stock shocks won't wear out too soon.

I love the New look! Spoiler going on next. Then I can work on my Performance Mods, starting with a big long PITA Header install.

@jgscott looks good! From that angle, looks like you have a 2016+ GS with the refreshed tails and newer wheel design

Thanks Man! Still working on it. Only about 10 more projects to do.... or more and I will be happy with it for a min, until someone comes up with a new Mod I just cant help but want to do. Now I'm looking at it going, I need to get some Springs and drop it.

Kinda nice that its like a Lego car that you can just refit New pieces to make it look 3 to 7 years Newer. I have debated some about how much to put in it before I hit the Wall of, ($$$$ +) I could have just bought a 19 - or 20. But it's a Lux and that's like looking for the almost impossible in a Lux, and I have lots of Performance Mods to complete, and I just love the RWD 6 speed and just cant see myself getting use to that 8 speed transmission from the others I have driven. Likely would have not been such a concern for me if I had never driven a 6 speed, and that I only have 37k on it.

Today, I change the front and rear differential fluid in my 2013 GS 350 AWD. It took about an hour with my lift. Got to love working on your feet and not your back.

Unfortunately, you can see how scuffed up the lower bumper cover is all too well.


Diff fluid change the easy way.

@Knucklebus I recall when went to get the differential fluids changed, my personal mechanic couldn't get the front drain plug off and so I decided that just doing the rear was good enough at the time since I was only at 47k miles. Any issues with removing the fill/drain plugs?

Mostly, I was bored and needed something to do while I wait for the machine shop to get back to me on my 350 Buick engine.

Nothing I haven't dealt with before. They were snug to break loose but the front fill plug was the only real pain due to clearances. Still not that bad.

I've only got 70,070 miles on it at the moment. I may do some transmission fluid replacement in the near future if the machine shop hasn't gotten back to me.

As good as it may look, smoking the headlights and tailtights is not the smart play... when it comes to the safety of others than yourself. Late at night Smoked tail lights are literally the worst. Don't blame someone for hitting you from behind if they can't see your vehicle...

The tail lights are still bright at night and I upgraded my turn signals and they’re much brighter than stock, even with the dark smoke tint. Also adjusted my headlights and haven’t had issues with visibility. But then again, I almost never drive late at night so it’s not an issue for me

@Kingmatt24 it came out great (i recall your original color was Starfire Pearl !!). I've see one other like that color on the forum and a recent thread with a 4GS wrapped bright tennis ball green. Any plans to black-out the chrome exhaust tips like this: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/att...s-00001-17.jpg
