Haha I wish I had a nice set of 19s or 20s, but those wheels are just the stock 17s

I'll revive this thread with some crappy iphone pics of my new (to me) LS430.

It's dirty due to the rain but that doesn't last long here in SoCAL so i'll be washing her and putting up some proper pictures soon.



I think i have the exact same car as the OP.

Flint mica/black interior, navigation, front/rear parking sensors, cooled/heated seats, rear heated seats

Does anyone know what trim or model I have? I'm assuming its the ML (modern luxury). I know its not the UL because I don't have the air suspension buttons or the rear audio/climate controls.

Is there a trim level between the 2?

Oh wow completely forgot about this thread, hard to believe it was more than 2 yrs ago! Glad to see ppl adding onto it with their great looking 430s.

sennett0r: Looks like yours is modern lux just like mine. Yes, there is a trim in b/t ML and UL called Custom Luxury (CL). That was my trim of choice but they're pretty rare and the ML was a deal I couldn't refuse. CL has everything of UL minus rear controls and air suspension. I really wanted the extended leather and double pane glass that came with the CL.

What is this double pane glass you speak of?

The double pane glass comes on the UL (Ultra Luxury) trim which has almost every option available at that time, the double pane glass helps reduce outside noise making the already quiet interior tomb like.

^yes, the double pane is on the side windows, the front windshield is still the same glass i believe (which is where the bulk of the noise is anyway) so it's not a huge deal but it's a nice touch IMO.
