i got this for cheaper than my friend got his GS430 after 1 year of release, i am very happy with this price

Exactly. The smaller dealerships are nice because it's almost like a personal Lexus dealer of your own. I still get that exact same treatment at Longo despite the fact they're the largest Lexus dealer here on the West Coast. All the staff in all their departments are 1st class and hospitable. Sadly the smaller dealerships will tell you stories about how they can't get a car or they don't build it that way. They just say that so you don't buy from the best.

Merry Xmas Guys!

here are some xmas gifts I got for my car

it's extreme hard to capture light correctly with camera
Xenon Depot 6000k low beams
Phillips Ultinon 6000k Fog Light
LED city lights



Tommy has a different kit than mine, a bit bluer than the phillips kit


nice pearl white-ish lexus sticker for the front calipers



it looks really nice!

None of this could've happened without Tommy's help, a huge thanks to him.

eh, no need for the clear coat. I would have went for a smaller sticker though.

I agree. Spray a clear on it to keep the decals from peeling and falling off from the extreme heat your brake calipers create.

hehe, no biggie, these are free stickers, we just did this for fun while the wheels are already off.

if they peel, i'll just peel them off. They match the car really well tho
