don't mind the dirty rheems








I put the two tone leather seat covers and armrest on myself and cleaned the carpet and bought brand new lexus floor mats. We also put HID's on it and the clear corner lens. The wheels came on it are rare enkeis and weigh 17lbs each. next is a new steering rack and tokico strust all around. I also got some new goodyears on it. this car is giving me alot of grief right now and has been undrivable since i bought it in feb. it has 230k miles on it.

If he decides to do away with it, at least he can sell me the seat covers for cheap.

Those rims look like the ones that came on some of those white limited-edition 93-94 LS400's. I don't really know the terminology though.

it has steering issues. considering all I have into it is the leather seat covers and hid's its not a bad deal, and hopefully the new rack in which i didnt pay anything for will fix it. so i can put more miles then sell it for $4000-5000k. its nice to work at a place where I get free parts :P

Yes you are correct, those rims came on 5th anniversary edition 94 ls400's. I have seen two different versions of anniversary edition ls400s. Opal white(darker and more silver/pearly than diamond white pearl, and a very rare blue. The special edition rims look the best!

Very nice! What part of Illinois are you in if you don't mind me asking? Looks like Niles or something in the background. Hehe.

your close, i live in skokie.

and part of the reason I can have a car for so many months and not drive it is because I own 8 other cars :P so its not really a big deal if this one sits and gets stuff it needs, its time will come shortly.

It really turned out to be a nice car besides the steering problem, its more irritating than anything, its not like I would drive this thing everyday since I have good daily beat around cars.

I almost think that these wheels are a dealer option thing, because I have seen at least 3 other cars with the same exact wheels on it and two were in my own neighborhood. but who knows i don't know alot about these cars.
