On impact, it felt like a cocoon with all those airbags enveloping me and my 15yr old son in the front passenger seat. Two cars lost control in the right most lanes on I95 going north and careened across 4 lanes of highway to end up perpendicular in front of me, 2nd lane from the left... no way to avoid. 3 cars totaled and 2 more damaged. All 5 drivers and my son escaped without serious injury. My son probably had it the worst, from the impact of the second car hitting the right side of the car, he has a bruise on his right arm from impact with the door.
2015 Obsidian with 27K on the odometer. Only got it 2 1/2 months ago and only put 1,600 miles on it since purchase. $35K in repairs so it is being totaled. Not only is the GS a reliable workhorse, it's one hell of a safe car to be in!
Now to find another GS in So. FL... those things are rare in my neck of the woods... wish me luck!

Looks great, did you have to take the bumper off/out to remove the grills? Is that a standard F Sport Grill or something aftermarket.

The Infiniti was nowhere near as dependable as the Sequioa and it was a gas and oil burner, and I'm not really feeling their current line up.
Acura... so boring, and nothing other than the grandpa RLX and the MDX (not really wanting an SUV but a car) there's nothing to consider. (and I will laugh at anyone who suggests TLX)
So that leaves me with Lexus... everyone and their mom has an ES, so that's out. My restriction is my budget... even though I can afford it, I cannot convince myself that a car pymt above $400 (5 yrs) makes sense. I will drop some $$$ down, but my desired OTD is $30K (which was the price of my 2015). I will stretch a bit for an LS, but not too much.
I readily agree that I'm not always the smartest guy in the room, so I'm open to suggestions.
(You know what?... when I get home tonight, I'll start this topic as a new thread)

I didnt take the bumper off, I did it all from the top and those pics were in progress as I did it. The grills are stock repop F sport grills I got off ebay and are painted gloss black and clear coated.

Can you take a few pics and show how you did it without taking the bumper off, like maybe point to where we have to do something? A few of us are having a hard time doing that. lol.

i gave a quick run down further up in this post and the pics show all the pieces. its really just remove the 4 pieces and take the grills out.

I guess everyone is going black pearl lately. I did my front emblem a while back and wanted to replace my rear ones, ordered just the GS350 and awd, but after putting them on I added the rear L to complete everything. Had them plastidipped previously, but these look much better especially with black.
