I am going to change the center to Red BBS center cap, and I am thinking about installing some Carbon Pillars. That is what my next move will be on my car.

Seems like a guy like you has disposable income, why did you get a GS AWD? Being that you have a Porsche, why didn't you get a Audi RS4/S4 or RS6/S6 for an AWD high performance luxury sedan? It appears that you've probably installed over $10k of aftermarket parts on your current AWD GS350.

Because Lexus had always run in the family, so I kind of want to keep it in the family. Plus I like the style of GS.

for Luxury and Features in side the car the GS wins hands down. Audi takes this car from a performance point all day long but they are 2 different cars. I had the S4 and the car was solid all around. 40k+ miles in 18mos, driven hard every day, and not one rattle or problem with it. That V8 loved gas and that was the only bad thing with the amt of driving I did. Its a smaller car inside, more comparable to the inside of the ISx50 IMO anyway. I miss having a fun car to drive but I behave myself more in the GS then I would in the RS4/S4. My only gripe with this car so far is the rattles just as I had in the ISx50. Outside of that I like the look of the car and what it has to offer.

GS could just use a tad more power IMO for a V8.

"kitony", "tripleJs15"

i believe he's on the tanabe df210 springs with no vibration issue. there are no coilovers, aftermarket shocks available for AWD so far.
