thanks guys for the welcome. yes it is a 2004. I figured no one wanted the car due to perhaps..
(a) the sport suspension.
(2) the grey interior..
I bought the car in july and i love it.

Hey timoc42, my car is like yours, an '05 Flint Mica, Black semi-aniline, Custom Luxury, and I also wish I got the Sport Suspension. Guess I didn't drive the car hard enough during my test drive before I bought it. I would love to get some stiffer sway bars on my car, but it doesn't look like there are any aftermarket ones available. What a shame!

I guess the only parts they have for the LS430 are those from Tom's Racing.
Im inquiring how much to get these parts :
