I have some Tanabe lowering springs on the way and plan to find some nice rims and tires to fill out the wheel wells.

Hi stew, well looks like you went to the dark side....lol. J/K. Congrats on your GS! I do like the new front grille and of course the white exterior color. The interior has a bit of Acura umber look to it, maybe just lighter color?

Are those front and rear parking sensors I see in the bumpers?

Yes, I was bitten by the North Nile mosquito and that turned into an irresistible itch that became infected leading to massive trade in!

The color is called Flaxen, which is lighter than the Umber Acura uses. I really love the color. They have a red color as well, cabernet, if I recall. It's really nice with the black exterior.

Yep, this car alerts me is I am too close to something when I park and tells me where visually on the dash.

Congratulations. Nice color combo.

Thanks, all it is missing is that girl in your avatar in the passenger seat! She'd make a great seat cover!

docboy 06-29-2013 08:58 AM

Congrats! How does the GS' steering compare to the TL's?

wreak 06-29-2013 09:22 AM

So hot I love those cars, the interiors are just amazing and they look so evil I love it. Is that a 2013?

KarKraze 06-29-2013 09:32 AM

Thank you!
Steering feels about the same though I haven't pushed it yet. It's not an AWD, so I don't expect the same pull through corners

Thanks Justn! After I get the new springs installed.. we can arrange a photo shoot, if you want :)

TC2010shawd 06-29-2013 11:34 AM

Beautiful car! How does it handle and perform compared to the TL?

vivmike 06-29-2013 12:10 PM

Nice GS! What wheels are you going with?

Please don't say Vossen.

Stew4HD 06-29-2013 12:33 PM

Thank ya! I don't know which wheels yet. I will know when I see them. I have looked at the Vossen line and only one style was cool to me.

It's been so long since I wheel shopped, other than RonJon

If you do, make sure you activate the "ventilated seat" switch cause she is hot and will be a source of a moisture that's for sure! :thumbsup:

Now on my turn to extend the since congrats!! That is ONE FINE piece of machinery if I can say so myself. I am envious and quite frankly, I had the Audi bug but seeing this creature in white almost got me more excited than the Avatar you described above - I must be getting old! :what:

In any event, make sure you keep her clean, please come and hang out with us here as we always could use good input and finally, don't mod it too much to make it look tacky - The original wheels look great, don't mess a good thing :)

Edward'TLS 06-29-2013 12:42 PM

Very nice car, Stew4HD.

Did you get the RWD, or the AWD ?

My wife just totaled her A6 last week, and now I've to starting shopping for a new car.

weather 06-29-2013 12:45 PM

^^^ I hope she is OK and wasn't injured badly.

I got the RWD version since I live in Houston, I really didn't "need" the AWD other than for the fun of it. I do recommend stopping by a Lexus dealer and test drive one and see. She may not like the "stiff" gas pedal, which takes some getting used to. It's the old type of pedal that pivots at the floor instead of hanging down.

Thank you for the grats and hope your wife is okay

Thank you, my friend!
I will see what it looks like when I add the lowering springs. It's a minimal drop of about 1.25 inches, but will close that when to fender gap a little. That is the only mod I have in sight cuz I do like the wheels.

I will still be around, Acura was good to me

CLtotheTL32 06-29-2013 01:31 PM

Gorgeous :drool:

Brew0360 06-29-2013 05:30 PM

Congrats Stew!!! Enjoy your new toy!!!

TeamAcura 06-29-2013 05:54 PM

Congrats Stew! Gorgeous whip! I love the peanut butter interior on white exterior. Sex on wheels. Didn't take you long to trade it in. :tomato: If you don't mind, how much did they give you for the 4G?

Thanks! I love the color combo. I had the TL 2 years and almost 3 months, I talked them up to 31K for it, knowing they can't get much more than 35K out of it. Yeah, it hurt more than a bit.

TeamAcura 06-29-2013 06:17 PM

Well I hope you stick around Stew even though you'r no longer a 4G owner. I enjoy reading your posts. :tongue: :thumbsup:

You guys are like family and love cars, I love cars, it works! You guys are much nicer and cooler than most I've talked to over on ClubLexus, by far!

And thanks for that, that is very nice of ya! :what:

Steven Bell 06-30-2013 08:57 PM
