Excuse my naivity.. i have a '02 SD that I wanted to add a few things to... namely real spoiler, a better stereo system, xenon lights and navigation system (over time ofcourse). However Lexus told me that none of that is available from Lexus as an upgrade and only comes factory installed. I was warned to not use aftermarket Xenon lamps as that would void the warranty and the spoilers would damage the body etc etc. Looking at MrSypher's mods I think I will give it a shot.

I have a 02 GS300 SD that I purchased brand new. It now has about 15000 miles on it. Lately I have noticed that it makes a wierd intermittent noise when i give it gas at low speed and the rpm jumps from 1000 to 3000 (typically when its in the second or third). Its not one of the usual engine noises that you hear when accelerating. The dealer said it was a bent heat shield which was making the noise under pressure and he adjusted it but that didn't fix it. I am bummed because I can't stand noise problems (thats why I went with the Lexus in the first place) and despite 3 trips to the dealer they are unable to fix it. I recently got the dealer 15000 mile service done and have religiously used high grade gas and all oil changes have been done by the dealer on time. Anyone else experienced something similar?
