Nice one! Congrats.

Do the hybrid's have a muffler that points down? Funny that Lexus removed the exhaust openings on those. Possibly a functional reason this was done?

The actual exhaust tip after the muffler points down. The tip after the muffler serves no purpose other than directing the exhaust fumes away from the cabin of the car. Lexus just decided to do this for the hybrid to distinguish itself from the non-hybrid.

I actually plan on adding the bumper tips to my 450h. I got a used set of bumper tips for $45, the rear valance I plan to buy. Then I would just have to cut my existing exhaust tip, probably clamp on a small straight piece of pipe, do a little modification, and install the new valance/bumper tip. I think the bumper looks better with exhaust tips. My tips will be wrapped satin black and the valance will be gloss black(from 2016+ GS).

Congrats @Vati . She's a beauty! The F-Sport hybrids are even more rare. How do you like taking the car around some twisty roads? Must feel amazing in Sport+ mode.

Sent you a friend request here on CL since there aren't many of us 4GS hybrid owners.

All the best,

To show off the aluminum pedals on the F-Sport.
