I've had it for 25 months. Just over 2 years old.

I haven't had any problems really. I just had the catylic converters replaced under warranty. But that might have been part my fault.

But nothing else really. I put Einke wheels, Road Hugger tires, a Jacobs Electronics ignition system, K&N filter, BOSCH plugs, Magnecor wires.

The gold package is gold emblems instead of the silver ones. I got them on eBay for about $100.

What have you done to yours?

Nothing, as I bought it yesterday.

a coach package LS400 wouldn't have gold emblems; it would have silver emblems that are matte in finish, not high polished.

The Coach Edition also has a 'Coach' logo on the center console arm rest.

The emblems on my Coach Ed. have a 'champagne' finish according to the paperwork, they're not chrome and definitely NOT gold.

I bought my car at a large auto auction, it was a lease turn-in. The factory "coach style" painted wheels were in rough shape so I bought a set of mint condition '98 wheels and then sold my original wheels on ebay.

Car now has 86K miles on it and still looks almost new. No problems other than a failing radio display.

The Coach editions have perforated leather seats and have an embossed "Coach" on the side of the center armrest. Add in the obvious plastic badge and that was it I believe. Not much really.

did lexus include coach luggage with the ls400's???
Yes it did. Of course many of us are second owners and thus never got the Coach bag

Mine had silver, but I replaced them with a gold package I bought on eBay.

After the other descriptions I know mine isn't a Coach.

The tinting is considered medium dark, it just looks really dark in the picture. I got it done in Florida for $140 a few years ago.

another pic...

Looks good but I can't tell much about the tint from that pic.
