In with the new








Since I got a little bored, we also installed the LSportline exhaust (tight clearance on rear bumper--had to rework the rubber hangers) and my clear lenses with new Polarg bulbs. Enjoy!

 

oOo very nice. Im thinking about saddle on my black LS when the time comes

 

One word to describe this interior, DOPE! Love God,no matter if I feel Up or Down!

 

Nice.How much for the leather ?

 

looks proper, good match with the wood: some more info?

 

That's not bad at all

 

That looks great. Also your radio install is very clean. How did you keep the factory Nav with an aftermarket radio?

 

GammaLex: from what I gather, Car Stereo Warehouse removed the factory radio, BUT kept the board hidden inside the dash to maintain Navi function. Basically: the stock radio was sliced, diced, and gutted (borderline cruel to the ML system LOL ). You could always ask the guys at CSW (JP fabricated the piece and I believe has a user ID on these boards--simply look for the original thread under my name "audio phase 1 of 3 complete").

As for the leather: I could not tell you if I got ripped off or not . . . LOL. Only 60% of the leather was replaced (all seat bottoms and the center backs). The leather (2 hides: one ecru and one "cork") cost me $800 and I only used probably 1/2 of the cork color--saving the rest for the audio panels and possibly my armrests (they need it). The install . . . well, was about $1200. After it was complete, the installer said he would charge a lot more the next time because of all the hassles with the power & heated seats, as well as the number of panels found in the Lexus layout.

Do I like it? Absolutely. In hindsight, I could have made a big dent in a wheel purchase However, I'm getting closer to it as well . . . Too bad nobody offers new seat covers for the LS430 . . .

Thanks for the reply and noticing the main goal: complimenting the wood.

 

That looks pretty good to me. Congrats on the new interior

 

Very nice looking!
