Default 2023 Lexus GX Black Line Edition "Build"

Traded in my 2016 Lexus IS 350 for a 2023 Lexus GX 460 in Nori Green. Not sure what I'll do to it. It's my daily driver with most of its miles being racked up on the highway so for the most part it will be a pavement princess with some light to moderate off-roading in the future.

Here she is in the dealer show room

Congratulations! Looks so much better with those front windows tinted. How was Towson Lexus to deal with?

Thanks! I found them to be pleasurable to deal with. I bought my previous Lexus from Len Stoler Lexus but I've been going to Lexus of Towson for service for the past few years and always had a good experience with them.

Nice,
Congrats, I got the same build one week ago, without the xbars.
I heard if you travel expressways frequently it's best to remove them since they make a lot of noise and may reduce your mpg.
They look great though.

Thanks for the heads up! Since I don't have an immediate need for them I'll remove them and see if that makes a difference in my MPG.

Thanks! It’s 20% in the rear and back seats and 40% in the front seats and front windshield.

Nice, just picked up mine same color as well with the xbars.
Was thinking about doing the fronts just wondering how much flac I will get here in PA over it. (PA law is 70 max for front which is almost nothing. :P )

Congrats! I'm pretty sure we have similar tint laws in MD but I haven't had any issues with my last car with these tint percentages so hopefully I won't have any with the GX either.

Default New Wheels and Tires



These wheels/tires have a little bit of poke to them. When compared to stock fitment it's like night and day.





Also had the calipers painted black.




New wheels and tires installed by No Limit Inc in Baltimore, MD. Method 706 wheels in Method Bronze wrapped in Falken Wildpeak A/T3W's. The wheels are 17x8.5 with a 0 offset and 4.72" back spacing. The tires are 265/70R17 SL tires. The techs at No Limit had to make minor modifications to the fender lining to fit the tires apparently. So far, no issues with rubbing. Stock suspension.
