Default New to CL......and my first LS400

Hey Guys,

I am new to ClubLexus........well sorta. I joined a long time ago but never really posted. I just surfed the site looking at pictures. I just picked up my first LS and I love it's luxury. She is a 2000 and is in really good condition. I envy all the other LS on here because they are so nice.

I've owned plenty GS and IS.......but this is the first LS

I just want to keep my ride stock and TRY not to mod anything. Anyways....HERE SHE IS

Thanks for the welcoming.

I agree tint will look better if its all even. But I cant go darker in the front. I dont want the cops messing with me.

I highly doubt they made that color combo.

possible if it was a custom order. I believe standard was gray or tan for most greens. I could have sworn I've seen a green '98 on black leather before.

2 VERY clean cars! Congrats! You are gonna LUV the LS! Better than an S class Benzo and much less expensive to maintain. Good luck with not messin with it ...even justa tad. I said same damn thing, but ended up doing a few minor things. Keeping it as close to stock pays big dividends later.

Well...........I tried to keep it stock but the 16s got so boring for me. So I slapped some coilovers on the car and threw some BMW Style 95s on it........................

But they rubbed on my car and I did not want to do any MAJOR fender mod so i sold them and bought some less aggressive 20's

but then i had a change of mind and wanted a clean and simple look so i tried the LS430 chrome -spoke wheels

It is hard to be an auto enthusiast and NOT mod your Lexus... too many nice thing are made and can be done to these nice cars... I think all luxury cars should be modded for the better and classier. Not making them look like crap cars but youre off to a good start. I really like the BMW wheels on it, I wouldve stuck with those IMO but thats just me even though it rubbed you could slightly roll the finders to make it look OEM still. Even if not rolled you know what they say.... beauty is pain. I dont mind scrapping so much here and there because my LS looks dope slammed. Just try to avoid all the high spots and hit them sideways.
