Welcome!
Pretty sure it’s a lux. Has sport+, memory seats on both sides, rear passenger manual sunshades. I really love driving this thing. Debating whether i should get weather techs like I normally would. Not sure they’ll look good with this handsome interior.

2017. What I really like are the 2017 Lux wheels, like those on pointman's GS... proabably a *itch to clean but in my opinion, they look sharp.

Sounds like Lux package, you can always put your VIN into the Lexus owners site & pull the details. https://drivers.lexus.com/lexusdrivers

I just got my Weathertech mats today, and they fit & look great. I happen to find a great condition used set on eBay for $99.

Yup. It’s the luxury package. I pulled the details from the Lexus drivers page. Strangely, though, the Lexus page says I have 17” wheels but mine are 18”.

GS came standard (base model) with 17" wheels... which are very, very rare. Premium pkg adds 18s, and if you read through the Lux pkg items, you'll see the 18s are included. The wheels on yours and pointman's (19s) cars are one way to identify the Luxury from the Premium and F Sport models.

Default I have a 13' Lux Too

I bought mine last Feb. I love the rims actually. I have everything also except for ML system. I wish it had heated rear seats too. I did a few updates so far: GEOMET rotors and powerstop pads, painted calipers black with silver lexus logos, rear red turn signals, front switch back LED turn signals, LED color matched fog lights; MPC remote start, Weathertech liners, moved front license plate to lower grill. Next up I think is a Borla 11935 Axle back exhaust. The deep sea mica color I have I think might be rare, it sometimes looks blue and sometimes looks green.

That's a great dark blue. It's would be my first choice for color but its almost impossible to find. I also bought a 13' ML Lux RWD 2 weeks ago. After a month of test driving GS350s in Vegas, the 13 Lux with the 6 speed just felt right.

Planned mods: Just bought some Huper Optik Ceramic 35% on ebay and will be installing it myself - just hoping I don't completely mangle it . I also plan on adding a subwoofer down the road to add some low end to the ML system. Planning on running a sealed Morel Ultimo SC104 + Audiocontrol LC-1.800 amp.

Yeah the spoiler is a nice addition, worth having it added IMO. It's not listed with the factory spec sheet, it looks like the original owner had it installed as a dealer accessory.

Smile Congrats!

Congratulations on your latest purchase! You are going to love this piece of metal in so many different ways! I've had mine for over a month now and have enjoyed every single minute of owning it. It's a joy to drive and looks beautiful inside and out. I'll catch you on the road, bro!
