white on black is one of the best color combos. Post more pics when you can

I don't know if it's a ultra luxury or just a regular model, but get air suspension massage back seat, with no nav . I have to say it's very clean for a 13yr old car

One of my favorite combos.
It is Ultra designed for Hawaii (No Nav)

Hey! A fairly rare UL w/o nav (HI model).
For my curiousity, could you post the line on the VIN placard on the driver's door frame that looks like:
C/TR: xxx/LB21 UCF30L-AETGKA (the xxx is the color code)
Thanks!

Nice car. Where's the NAV? I thought your model trim came standard with Nav? Never saw that before.

Gorgeous color combo. I'm going to paint my LS white someday.
