Default My new 2018 GS 350 F Sport - Pics

As the lease on my 2015 was wrapping up, I spent a long time deciding whether to buy it out, lease a new one, or extend and wait to see the future of our cars. I fell in love with the Smoky Granite Mica and leased a new 2018, and with it's lower residual, I intend to buy it after. Just got the windows tinted, and had paint protection film installed on the hood, fenders, bumper, lower grille and mirrors. Took these pics after I waxed it with Zymol Titanium. Love how the color is so much darker in the shade and at night, and the new red trim on the keyfob cover is a cool touch. I am considering tinting the tail lights, but otherwise it will remain stock... until I buy it

Looks awesome!! Tinted tails will be a really nice touch on that color, as would a smoked front emblem!

Thanks everyone! I'm really happy with it. Love the improvements over the 2015. Although I notice a difference going back to the stock Dunlops... I'm glad I saved the upsized Michelin AS3s I had on my last one!

Cool! It's great they brought back the SGM color and I hope they bring it back for more models.

Love it and congrats! I still feel like there is too much wheel gap on the GS350 though. Anyone agree???

Looks like AWD sits higher in the front. My 18 RWD appears to sit lower in the front.
