AJ is correct...just use a screw driver to pop the cap off and you're good to go.

Yes, Air Runner could've come with a better air management system. Their setup are pretty basic but I actually like it that way. I choose AR mainly for the quality and ride comfort. Elvin (lbintab) is correct, I will be using the Airlift Autopilot V2.

The only LS member I know of that own both a LS460 and SC430 are me, you, MrMark and Elvin(lbintab). Your SC with the Leon is sick...maybe add a kit and call it a day.

Once you purchase an LS and drive it, you will not regret it. Power and torque for a heavy car and the smoothness is unbelievable, well that's how I felt and still do, and the gas MPG I think is great. I hope you find one and buy one soon.

Well, I didn't have that problem. I knew what i wanted. I ordered the kit back in January and it should be here next month. I personally would not get a lip kit...not too fond of the line, I prefer a full bumper kit.

...yea I once owned a Ls400 & loved it to death,but ended up selling it about 8yrs ago. It was just as dependable as my Sc has been also.I would probably have already bought one,but my wife has me doing things around the house now....buying a new fence,new ac/heating system,windows for the house,etc.....you know,grown up stuff !!!!...but I've been able to sneak a few items in for the SC still .....we both celebrate our birthdays in October,so it might be a gift to us .....another thing thats going to make it an easy purchase, is that my wife is not a car person, but the Ls is the only car that makes her say " i like that car"
