New LS430 ultra luxury owner!!

[intermec]

hard to believe a 5 years old cars still look better then some new cars out there.
I think even the 01 LS has better look then the new ES, GS and the current LS

gs4bkny, congrats on the UL, excellent choice!

Looks like your UL sit pretty level too, double congrats!

I wouldn't say the LS430 is "better" then the 2nd gen GS400/GS430 though, as they are both good for different purposes. I love the looks of the 2nd gen GS and how sporty they drive, I love it every time I drive my dad's 03' GS300, it feels so responsive. I wish there is a switch that can toggle between the personality of the LS430 and GS430. They are both awesome to drive, I have the hardest time deciding which one I want more, at the end, I choose luxury over sporty.

lucky for you that u bought it when u did cuz I almost bought this exact car a few days before you bought it. I talked to Cameron, is that the salesman you got it from ? Only reason I didnt get it cuz I had bad experience a few days earlier with another ultra luxury ls at a different dealer up in NY. So now Im skeptical bout all NY/NJ cars. Otherwise this would have been mine. Plus I wanna hold out for a black on black UL LS430.Def was a decent deal for 25 grand too

Yes def. congrats! Loving the bow......future mods planned?

I have a near identical UL in silver. The VIP mods can be spectacular, but I'm a bit too conservative. However, I wanted some gentle mods to set my car apart and make it "mine". I replaced the grill with an identical stock that is chrome plated (you almost have to know what you're looking for to actually notice that it is all chrome). I added stock mud guards as I left the fit smoothly and give it a gentle look of being a bit lower. I then added an Auto Couture rear deck spoiler (again it is a not a large spoiler, doesn't hang over the lid or either side nor down the rear trunklid). I also have the chrome 4-spoke Lexus wheel and a full gold package.

I love this car!

Sorry about the typos: "I felt they fit smoothly" & "7-spoke"

[gs4bkny]

what do you guys think about a rear roof spoiler for this car?

[AggieLS]

Congrats on the move from a GS to an LS, I did the same back in '04. I am not a big fan of roof spoilers but its your LS so do you what want.

It is personal preference and taste. It makes the car more aggressive and more modded, but at the same time make it less clean. But that is what most modding parts does though I guess.
