Thanks for the info guys, I love my Lexus and just finished detailing it. As for the muffler tip rust removal, I used 409 cleaner, wiped it, and then used never dull metal polish, and then a final wipe down. I took a couple daytime pictures yesterday. They don't do much justice though, the car looks more like black rather then gray.

Btw i'm from San Diego!

For sure. My dad's 1999 RX300 Suv has about 250k and it runs great, my 1992 SC300 I had before this almost clocked 300k before I sold it, and it was also running good as well. As long as proper maintainence is done, owning a Lexus is a breeze Speaking of that, my check engine light just turned on yesterday, so I think it's time that I get it checked out asap.

*BUMP* Got my "$23" ebay visors on, nice as the ones in the item description, very good quality and fit. Also ordered the short antenna which should come next week. I took a few new photos!

Wow, shiny =D




I love SoCal!
