Default I got a new ride!!! Am I still Welcome??

So, although I LOVE the Lexus brand, and i've owned 5 and still drive a 98 GS3 occasionally, I had to swith it up a little. So I hope I still get CL love, even though I just picked up a 2003 Q45. I got a good deal (I think) on my Q $9k. It has 111,5XX on the dash, and the dealer has to fix or replace the navi/DVD (got a contract on that ). My plans are kinda simple, Garson interior accesories, im kinda undecided on a kit or not, coilovers<->air when I get the dough, and the wheel design below, not sure what company though. Here is a quick cell pic from his morning.



Although there may be kind of a biased opinion on this site,what do you guy's think??? Be gentle please

I like your Q looks good and hows the gs I have a few spare parts in my garage let me now if your looking for something and I think the brush face on the wheels would enhance the flavor of the car dont do chrome IMO too flashy .

I did not start the Infiniti trend (lol). Having the company I work for go under last summer and having been on unemployment, I sold my 2007 AWD IS250 before the economy really took a dive. I was to downgrade, but was fortunate to know the owners of Infiniti of Lisle and was lucky to get my 2004 G35 Aero w/Nav loaded. I like it much more than my newer IS250. I will probably buy a used IS-F in the next year if I continue to be bored. I will always keep the G35 regardless.
