Congrats on the purchase! What kind of options did your LS400 come factory with? Navigation? Air Ride Suspension? Color Leather? What are your plans with the car?

Not sure to be honest. At night when the headlights come on they have a light pink tint to them. But they are not ultra bright or bluish white like most HiD headlights that I've seen.

Any suggestions for a picture hosting site? I have a few shots of my car and want to post them but I'm not very knowlegable about picture hosting. I did a search and saw that feature was removed sometime ago but didn't see anythig on what site's I should use.

I believe it's stationary. Is there any way to locate the original build sheet (window sticker) for the car? (just to find out what other options it came with that I don't see)

I'll look into photobucket. Thanks.
