Hey, guys. I am new to the site and also to this side of the car world lol I'm actually use to the euro scene but recently purchased a 2004 LS430 and have lots of plans for it. I still have a Euro (1987 BMW 325E) but I absolutely love this Lexus.

Stock for now:



My old GLI:

You will totally love this car! I fell in love with it about three years ago and know I am on my second one.

Your GLI was pretty sweet too!

Here she is. She's not too pretty on the outside, but is mint on the inside for sure. I don't have many pics of this one due to it sitting in my driveway more than on the road.
