I'm doing some research now, probably going to end up painting the bezel, and I'm not sure what can be done about the wood panel, as the dealership here quoted me $1,400 just for that one piece of trim haha. Started polishing out all the small scratches on the front end of the car, looking into finding a superb set of 18" tires. Rims are starting to show some delaminating. I'll get some better pics up soon.









Very nice LS430! Is it a UL? I only seen black/saddle and white/saddle, I didn't know they have blue/saddle.

I'm on BC racing coilovers, ride quality is as good as can get on these horrible city roads. Tire wear is good so far but, I took the wheels off for the winter months... As for the visors, they're the inexpensive AVS slim visors, costs around $140 5 years ago.

Cool My First Lexus, first LS430 Ultra

After driving and owing almost every heavy metal american car since 1970, I am flabbergasted I've been this long on owning a big Lexus.
Time will tell, but it is beating every caddy and lincoln, and M-B too.

2003 LS430, Silver Metallic, 81k miles (as of 12/31/15). Pretty much stock, but with 18" sport rims and OEM mudguards.

P.S. Not claiming to be the ultimate pic on this thread, just another pic of the ultimate car.

I can't believe I haven't posted mine yet. Bought in November of 2015 at a Lexus dealer it is a 2005 LS430 with 108,000 on the odometer. 18" rims that came as an option when the car was new.

Really nice LX. Ours is dark green metallic, almost black. Still happy we chose it over the grey or cream....
Biggest issue I'm having is the grey wood trim. Haven't seen it yet in any other car. Would be nice to trim out the center stack...
