It is a downgrade, it's missing all the luxury features the GS has and that's why I went back to the GS.

^^^ I see they are still claiming the AWD models have VGRS...

Not yet. It will sit until my guy can fit me in this coming weekend. He will do that and I will see if I can get the window tint done as well or if I need to wait another week on that. Thankfully, for me, lack of tint won’t prevent me from driving it

The side glasses states it has UV protection when I drove mines today. But I still feel some heat from the sun thought.

It looks like there's some light tint already on the windows, is that true?

I'd get the headlights covered too. Are you getting Xpel?

Correct and I am also getting the headlights done.
  • Full front (including headlamps)
  • Half hood/front quarters
  • A and B pillars
  • half roof
  • Rocker panels
  • Mirrors
  • Door cups (sometimes overlooked but a needed add-on)
  • Rear fascia
I think that about covers it.

Are you sure you don't want to cover the full hood? I'm thinking about a full covering on mine. Mine has the front 1/3 covered by Lexus with 3M and it's not enough. I can't imagine the extra material would be that much more dollars or labor.

A 5' by 5' sheet not pre cut for the hood would be all that you need. A computer pre cut hood section is not really needed for the install IMO. You'll be very happy with the gloss on the Xpel, I'm very pleased with mine. I also went up about 11 inches from the rockers on the doors which didn't take the installer too much time. On a black car cover as much as you can.

I got a quote that the headlights were like $200.
