Default Picked my car up........pics inside.

So I started a thread awhile back about considering an LS400,click here.

So I went and picked it up yesterday, gave it a wash, and snapped some pics for you guys.

Anyone have any centercaps lying around for these wheels? They are 15's with no gold package.









It is a 90, with 66,000 miles!!! Everthing is perfect inside and out, except for the tires (appear to be the originals), and the missing center caps.

Let me know what you think....

centercaps arent too hard to find, tho you prolly will have to pay a premium since they are chrome.

18s sound good? i have my old set still xD

It looks to be in incredible shape. How much did you pay for it?

The first thing I would do is buy clear front bumper lenses. It's probably the cheapest, easiest change you can make. And it looks great. $50 on ebay.

I'm kind of a lighting guru, I have many plans for the lighting on the car.

I paid $4,000 for it, and couldn't be happier. It looks just as good in person as it does in pictures. It has the slightest seeping from the transmission pan, but I intendt to give the car a COMPLETE tune up, and then some.

I will be changing the following:
Trans Flush, Filter, pan gasket
Oil change (royal purple)
NGK Iridium plugs
Vitek wires
Lexus Caps And Rotors
Timing belt
Tensioners
Water pump
Crank and Cam Seals
Differential Fluid (royal purple)
Fuel flush
Seafoam
Serpentine belt


I'm gonna have loads of fun!

Thanks guys, yeah I'm pretty stoked right now. This will be my daily, so I am going to mod it very loosely, 18" wheels will be max, and maybe a 1" drop just to give it the look, I really don't want to lose the cushy ride, any recomendations on a spring that will keep close to the stock ride quality??

You better change those tires ASAP if they're originals!

Go do a crazy burnout so they don't completely go to waste, just make sure to make some ghetto mudflaps out of cardboard so there isn't rubber all over the underside of the bumper. Don't ask me how I know.

That car looks to be in GREAT shape, do you know the service history? I hope that timing belt was changed at 60K at least. If not, do that asap before it snaps from old age.
