I picked up my 2004 LS430 with what appears to be the ML package and the SmartAccess option. To be honest, I really had virtually no clue to all of the option packages available on these cars when I went looking for it. The car has 110K miles on her...

Here is my 2005 LS430 which I got to replace my 2002 GS300. My GS was totaled after someone removed my new stereo system that was 1 1/2 week old. 19" Roderick RW3 staggered wheels with Continental DWS 06 tires.

My favorite color that Lexus had, Cypress Pearl. My baby, 2006 LS430 UL 37,000 miles.
Looking gorgeous with the fall foliage.

BC Racing... Perfect fit, Easily adjustable height and a nice range of firmness - softness

Thanks for the reply! I think I may go with the same coils, just the extreme low option for the ability to slam the car although I probably won't

Found another local LS enthusiast! I couldn't help but turn around, park, and snap a shot.

Probably the best shot I've taken of my car and I. You can see the bumper rash from an accident that happened before the car became mine. So there's still work to be done on her...
A slight rain, empty multi-level parking garage, brights on, arms extended out....embrace the luxury....

Your bumper rash is pretty tame compared to what I'm dealing with on the front and rear bumpers. Aftermarket paint + bad prep + harsh NZ sun = lots of paint peeling

It may not be as bad, but any scrap or damage to the car is unwanted. And I'm sure you and I, and also everyone here can agree no one likes having their car scraped.
