Looks good, I like the White and Flaxen as well, nice combo!

Would a D3400 have fit better?

Instead of stickers, should go for engraving.

Any word about what the problem is yet?

Nope and they said everything looks fine under the car, so I told them just put it back together if they can't find it instead of tearing the whole car apart and create more problems. They asked to keep it until Wednesday and will wrap things up and give it back to me fixed or not.

It has been over week without my GS and I'm already going crazy. There's nothing the ML audio can't fix anyway and a little squeak/rattle I can live with. Plus I got a brand new shock and all that noise disappears when this car screams on the highway doing triple digit speeds.

Did you ask if an alignment was necessary?

No, this was on Saturday, before I posted about the alignment but I will ask when they call me again later for another update.

Did this noise show up after the front end repair you just had?

No this has been going on for a while, I just didn't really mind it then and the sounds like coming from the mid to rear of the car. The front repair was just the lower grille and chrome fangs replacement. The noise is very faint and u can only hear it when the radio volume is really low or off and windows closed. Once the car is moving, no noise at all, even on bumpy roads.

Interesting that they can't find it.

Just told my service advisor to put my GS back together so I can pick it up today. Can't go on like this.. I've been losing sleep for the past week. I need my GS back!! Especially after seeing JDR's looking that good!!

Finally picked up my GS and man what a difference between the RX and this. The RX felt solid but the GS is just on another level.

For the most part I don't see any damages except for that little plastic box in the left side of the trunk where u hide ur illegal stuff, it got some scratches. Some oil stains and creases on the seats. They cleaned the stains but I hope the creases will go away.

There's also some marks on the door panels and back of the front seats. Those will probably come off with some cleaners and I need to remove the back seat bottom cushion cause they didn't install the middle seatbelt holder properly.

So far Lexus of Riverside got a B- from me. Techs don't care about customers' cars. Oil change probably ok but anything involving interior removal is a big NO-NO!! Woodland Hills Lexus was better, car came back perfect when they did my fuel pump recall.

Oh I didn't hear the noise anymore but then I was hauling ***.

You should check your oil and anything else they could've screwed up. Most of the people at dealers are not car people anyway. Last dealer visit for me was tires, I needed a fencepost on a breaker bar to loosen lugs to correct torque.
