Very nice mod, but you may have posted that in the wrong section. This is the 4GS section, and it appears that you have an IS/RC, based on your instrument cluster and steering wheel.

Panyo64 - thank you for pointing that out. I used the wrong picture for the post install image. I have removed it and will post the correct post install image here shortly. The modification was in-fact done to a 2015 GS350 F Sport.

Edit: Post install image was updated to the correct one.

Hey 4GS350,

I installed these on my 2015 GS350 F Sport. I don't see any reason why they wouldn't fit a 2013 GS350. I've never sat in a 2013 but I assume the steering wheel didn't change... same Gen.

Right when your extended service contract expires. Just look in the Contract for the mileage and expiration date instead.

@jgscott - I seriously doubt I'll ever reach 100k miles, no more than I drive the car.

I strongly suspect the GS 450h's eCVT will still be shifting perfectly (as it does now at only 12k miles) when it has ¼ million miles or more if it's still on the road.

Impressive picture of the GS 450h eCVT

Just picked up my new 2016 GSF earlier this weekend, and let go of my 2015 GS350 AWD w/ F-Sport Forged Rims to another GS enthusiast

@Nunz seems like you just got those 19" forged wheels too

Congratulations & beautiful color choice on your new GS F! Any planned mods?? Also, does it feel substantially quicker than the 3.5L motor?

Safe to say we'd all like to see a write up on the relative differences between your old and new cars!

Yes after a bit of ownership time, I'll have a write up comparing the differences between my tuned 350 and GSF

Thanks man! This GSF already has a few mods installed by the prior owner, which fit the car perfectly! It has a GT Haus midpipe, Carplay, CF mirror covers + mudguards, AFE CAI, and ambient lighting. Oh man, it definitely is a lot quicker and more brutal.

I loved those rims and do miss my GS350. We need to get you a set of them for your car

Had its routine service. Was due for the 2.5 year/25k service, but I’m only at 3900 miles. 😃

I truly need to come to terms with selling it as I clearly don’t use it, but I sure do love this car.
