Default Latin's LS build

Decided to start a "build" thread since I didn't do one for my 2013 GS350.

I got this premium 2006 LS430 in Flint Mica with ash interior on October 1st 2017. It has 60k mile and it was a one AZ owner with good maintenance on it from dealerships and indie shops.

New Yokohamas were installed before the car was traded in:

As you can see the previous owner did not have any tint on it. In AZ you NEED tint.

Today I got the car tinted with 20% SunTek from Eclipse window tinting. http://www.justtintit.com/
He was very awesome and professional. His reviews on Yelp and Google are great and he gets a big thumps up from me.

Here's the finished product:

The car was dusty so I gave it a wash and used some Meguiar's synthetic spray wax. I'll do a full detail soon.
Fist wash:

Getting some fuel and look at that shine!

What a beautiful foundation to build upon. Great pickup! What are your long term plans... keep it stock or add a few things?

Thanks!! Long term plans are just to keep it stock. Just planning on adding an after market stereo that can sync to my phone.

Thanks! Next step would be to get the tbelt job done soon.

I ordered a custom fit sun shade from Amazon but they sent me the wrong item:
