Nice car. Wish there was a supercharged option. Probably more reliable as it is though.

short video to show turning on and off... it dims on when i walk towards the car and in this clip.. i walked away as soon as it turned off so it dims out when nothing is done (unlock car or lock car again)
I did the trunk already and it made a huge difference. Which bulbs did you use for the mirrors and was it a simple swap? Looks great!

I got some cold cathodes waiting to go in for the trunk. I don't know if I can justify with just the single LED in the trunk for all the space but I'll probably try one of my LEDs in the trunk to see how bright it really is now that these new LEDs these days get really bright..

for my mirrors and my door panels, i used these.



but they are in different casing then the ones pictured when i received them so i did have to modify the bulb sockets to allow the bulbs to sit a little closer to the socket so that i can have room to put them in.

door panel courtesy lights are in.. first picture shows difference from front (LED) to rear (stock)



and this shows both front and rear with LEDs.




matches much better with the door trim illumination and the foot well lighting with the LEDs...

also.. just dropped off couple exterior trims for painting this morning..

one of them is a package I received from Japan last Monday.

finally got my TRD Front Spoiler.. lip kit?? bumper add-on?.... whatever it is painted. but it definitely fills in those gaps on the edges nicely.

only got potater camera of it for now since car hasn't been washed for awhile.. Car should be going in today to Platinum VIP for the suspension work. Can't wait to get it out once it's done.



also got a different trunk spoiler and roof spoiler painted but need to do some more massaging on the trunk spoiler to get it to sit nicely..

dropped by Platinum VIP to check in on the car and it's status along with dropping off my wheels i'll be putting on them..



so far, wiring for the main management system is all done, now just need to get the plumbing, tank, compressors and rear coils in.. I'm shooting for next week Wednesday but I have a feeling I'll get it back probably week after.

Nice! I have the same coils on my TSX (minus the cup kit) and I love them! Can't wait to see the wheels you went with.

current status of the GS350... waiting to have everything finished up.. ended up going with the rear spring and shock separated with the cup mounted on the car with the spring sitting below it instead of having the setup just like my Genesis Coupe with the spring and shock combined into one like other one piece coilovers.. iirc, custom bracket was made to have the cup firmly bolted to the car but I'll know more details once I get the car back and take a look under if anyone was wondering... but for now.. some rear fitment photos.. some may not like the type of fitment but this is what I wanted to go with.

Got 2013 GS F Sport in the family and it is a great car. Wouldn't think of doing any mods to it, but it's your car so you do you.

it was! pretty interesting weather..

as for ride quality.. even when tucking just a bit of tire while cruising, the ride feels is almost close to stock.. pump in a bit of air to front and rear to raise up the car a bit while increasing spring rate and it stiffens it up perfectly.

Had a chance to shoot my car again over the weekend since I had to go out and shoot a customer's Ford Mustang 5.0 in that area.











here's the mustang.

Love these cars, perfect balance of luxury and sport, not to mention practicality. This is tastefully modified, keep up the good work.

That's one sweet looking GS. Still remember your 2G TL was one of the cleanest on the forum.

I'm probably going to pick up a used GS350 myself since my 3G TL was rear-ended.
