EDIT: New pictures added!!! I received all the parts that I ordered and finally got the car back from the shop. Everything is on right now

Hello CL. Allow me to introduce myself. I had 08 IS350 and just traded with 08 LS460 about few months ago.

I made a thread about buying high mileage LS here and you guys helped me to buy this incredible car. Thank you for replies to helping me getting this car. Bought the car @ 120k ish mileage and right now she is at 142k mileage and still running smooth and strong. I believe I can keep this car for another 5~10 years. Took few road trips with my wife and put lotta mileage on it lol. We really love this car so much. My wife loves her 10 RX350 but she said she really likes my car too. She said that it's so smooth and can't believe this is 120K ish mileage car. Even though it's at 142k mileage, it feels new. It is so smooth and nice. After driving this car for while, I decided to start modding it!!!

I thank my boss for keeping this car well maintained. He also did full brake pad change + new tires from dealer before he sold the car to me. I am just so blessed I have such a nice car and want it to last forever. Again thank you Cl members for replies to help me buy this car.

Here is my car when I bought it first day. Washed + waxed the whole car.



Next mod: full interior + nike light + DRL light with LED lights and 6k low + fog. (interior is so bright that it blinds me... I can read books comfortably with these lights lol)



LED side mirror puddle lights.



Joe-Z exhaust



Vip Modular VR01





I love the offset! It's flush don't you think?





Here are the items I ordered. It's taking long time but it will be worth it

- Black G2 caliper paint with lexus logo

- rear trunk spoiler + roof spoiler (bought it from dallas automotive)

- wald front, side, rear from platinum vip~ Should be ready next week.

- Megan midpipe (but backordered )

- Basic air runner kit with e-level accuair
Upgraded to dual compressor, bigger tank, shut off valves, and digital dokota gauges.

I will be updating with pictures when i get my parts~
