It was a little late when I left so I couldn't get too rowdy in his neighborhood.

What do you think about those Aero resonators? I have been thinking about them or the Vibrant Ultra Quite oval ones?

I wish I had installed the Borla with the stock resonators, and drove it around some, as it would have been nice to compare the tone between both. It's louder than I thought it would be, and surely louder than it would be with the stockers. There's a tiny bit of drone but it's pretty much white noise after a bit and you don't notice it. The combo is throaty under acceleration and a little rowdy at WOT, it might be a little much for someone not used to driving cars with exhausts that make can some noise. I personally love the combo.

Maybe its just the lighting in the pics but I cant even tell how they look or the design of the wheel..I guess I have never been a fan of Black wheels as they hide the spoke design and intricacy of the wheel. I cant tell where wheel ends and tire begins.

I mean in the close up pics you can see the wheels… but you like what you like. Not your car though, I love them!

I replaced the CR2032 coin batteries in both key fobs (primary and spare) for the GS 350, and I did the same for my other vehicles too. The coin battery in the primary key fob (that I carry) for the GS 350 seems to last right at 41 months (3 years and 5 months).

Great to know. Is that with or without the transmitter lock/battery-saving mode set to on?

Eddie, I've never used the battery-saving mode even with the spare key fob which is kept fully functional in a metal key lockbox and had its battery replaced 41 months ago just like the key fob I carry. The spare key fob was still able to perform perfectly after 41 months. (Maybe it would last an extra year or two if put into battery-saving mode. The day before I replaced the key fob batteries my instrument cluster warned me the battery was low in the key fob I carry. I rather doubt it actually helps much to put the key fob in battery-saving mode even for a spare that's not going to be used for years. I really can't imagine going to the hassle of putting the key fob I carry into battery-saving mode knowing I'll be using it within a matter of days, and when it is used it cancels the battery-saving mode and normal operation returns. Maybe I'm not understanding its true purpose that makes it worthy of being used... I don't get it!

Recently a very powerful storm rolled by. Actually didn't really pay much attention to it until the next morning when half of my town had no power. And trying to navigate roads with no traffic lights and drivers with no clue what to do at intersections, and also neighbors with no power due to fallen trees and branches.

Unluckily for me debris from the storm hit and scratched my 4GS and will probably need bodywork which I was planning to do anyway to retouch up the paint.

Forgive me if she's dirty haven't had the time to clean her...

Stripped most of my goodies off to sell back to Lexus.... so if anyone is looking for a 2015 red awd F Sport with 56k miles that will most likely be L-Certified, keep your eyes open!
Sad to sell, but obviously from the miles I don't drive it much and am getting a good offer from them. Hopefully the next owner enjoys it!

I left the front lip (painted body color), RSR down springs (stocks in the trunk, who knows what the dealer will do with it), and ijdmtoy fogs on it.
Have a Takeda Intake, Tanabe Strut Bar, and Borla Axle back to sell if anyone is looking - I haven't spammed enough in the past 14 years to post in the classifieds without it being closed
