Default New Lexus Owner

Hey everyone, i am a proud owner of a Diamond White 2000 Lexus GS400. The only thing done to it is tinted tails and an aftermarket Navigation/DVD player. I Just bought the car recently and was not aware that the aftermarket scene on these cars was so big until i came across this website. Anyways I hope to learn a lot about these cars from everyone on here. Already learned the cool window trick from the sticky post haha.

I kind of like the tails, because even on here i haven't seen very many with tinted tails. Maybe thats because these are more VIP style cars and tinted tails are more of a tuner thing i don't know but i feel like not many lexus' have them so they're kind different. But as of now it has just under 99K miles on it.
