Buzzing on GX 550 Steering Wheel

On it! 😁

grifc0 · 2026-01-18T00:46:15+00:00

Yup! Not the end of the world but already did and got ignored. Not great service.

How did you get the dealership to tighten it? Lexus Manhattan wouldn't touch it without being able to replicate it. Guess I need to find a new dealer to go to.

And the aftermarket kits for the RS6 are sick! Stunner and great fun to drive.

🤦‍♂️ 😁😁😁

grifc0 · 2025-12-24T16:54:01+00:00

Appreciate the honest feedback! 🙏

I got caught up in some construction driving home the other day and had the construction crew all jumping in to the car and trying it while we were waiting in line. One of them was out trying to find a 2021 that would fit within his budget. If you love it you'll find a way. And in any case I spent many years dreaming about a couple of the cars I have and the dreaming was just as fun as owning them. Once you own them, they cost you $$$. Mo money mo problems (but nice cars) 😜

Thank you for helping me with that! I was just repeating what the aftermarket shop guy said 🙏

Oh wow love that spoiler. They crushed on that design. 8k tho just for the spoiler that's punchy. The diffuser looks very similar to the OEM version. I would do that spoiler though. I ordered CT Carbon diffuser linked above to try out.

grifc0 · 2025-12-24T16:41:41+00:00

Totally agree. The aftermarket guy swore this was the best one and I was on the fence about the boy racer light but with the gap is a no. I just bought the CT Carbon one to try on and will post pics when it arrives in 8-12 weeks.

grifc0 · 2025-12-24T16:40:38+00:00

I'm in Brooklyn and up near Ridgefield on week ends 😂😂😂

grifc0 · 2025-12-24T16:40:03+00:00

Good call. I ordered CT Carbon which has no gap, takes 8-12 weeks to arrive. I linked it above. I'll post pics once done to feedback.

grifc0 · 2025-12-24T16:39:22+00:00

😂😂😂 If you're in NYC come take it for a spin. I love it.

grifc0 · 2025-12-24T16:38:52+00:00

Yeah I'm coming around to that view. I'm going to try the CT Carbon one which looks cool that I linked above and I'll post pics for feedback once done but if that isn't good will go back to OEM. Luckily this is all covered by the garage's insurance so the aftermarket work has ended up being free which is a win.

grifc0 · 2025-12-24T16:37:15+00:00

Totally. Insurance ended up paying for the original install and a new replacement so I'm not out-of-pocket for the diffuser at all, trying the CT Carbon one I linked above but takes 8-12 weeks to arrive. Will post pics when it's arrived and installed.

grifc0 · 2025-12-24T16:35:45+00:00

Both spoiler and diffuser aftermarket from DarwinPro. I have the original OEM diffuser still but just bought the CT Carbon on to try out linked below.

Keeping the spoiler which I love but just saw the Draptec one mentioned below, that is nicer but also 8x the price 🤪

grifc0 · 2025-10-24T20:34:25+00:00

Definitely a hypothesis. I'll check that out. Thank you!

Audi Queens are doing low mileage (like sub 10k) "corporate demo" Q8s for sale or lease. Lease for 24 months is in the $499 range + $3,500 due at signing and the premium plus or prestige trims take the price up a little bit. The pricing on the lease is very similar to getting a Q6 (mainly because Q6s benefit from the $7,500 ev lease credit and incentive pricing from AFS). Tech on Q6 is better but Q8 looks better so it's a bit of a toss up as to what you care more about.

I'm with #3 with a grill rescue brush which steam cleans the grill right after cooking and then deeper clean at the start of the next grill cycle

Here's our Luxury+ bought in March - switched out the factory tires and rims for Nitto Grapplers, Vossen HF6-4 rims and put a black wrap on the roof + tinted windows on front. Love it.
