Thumbs up Joined the 430 crowd
Hey guys,

Bit the bullet and upgraded to the 04 UL. I'm very happy with it. It has a few minor things it needs to be perfect cosmetically but mechanically it's amazing. One of the best service records I have ever seen. On my 99 LS400 I lowered it only 2" with Tanabe's but I'm not going to touch the suspension on this one. I'll just convert it to KYB struts eventually but the air suspension is really nice. Anyway, thanks for all your help in the other thread I had. She drives like a dream. Could not be happier.

nicely done... all that research and back and forth has paid off! at the end its what ur happy with and thats what counts.

can u do me a favor and take pictures of the inside top liner? im looking to purchase a UL myself and the inside roof liner looks like its been treated with some kind of water solution and it doesnt look right to me. thanks

Uh... isn't that Flint Mica? My brochure shows saddle only available with Flint Mica or Black Onyx.
Very unique color combo.
Looks great.

Nah, it's definitely Briarwood Pearl

In 2004 LS, the Saddle interior color was available with the following 7 exterior colors:

● Moonlight Pearl
● Blue Onyx
● Briarwood Pearl
● Flint Mica
● Mystic Gold Metallic
● Crystal White
● Black Onyx
