Ha Ha. Here's a good story. My LS came with an aftermarket shifter that did not match (not even close). So after learning what a new shifter cost at the dealer I hit ebay and found one without the chrome base for about $25. I used the base of the old shifter and called it a day.

This is my first LS, and I am amazed by how well the interior held up after 76k miles and 2 owners. The exterior had is share of rock chips and scratches but looks great now after a good detail and touch-up.

Had to replace the trunk struts, and found an aftermarket set off ebay for $70 w/ free shipping. My Lexus dealer quoted me about $450 and told me they were pretty difficult to install. The install took less than 5 minutes !!!

I am looking to do some cosmetic mods (I love chrome), and will be

surfing this site for some suggestions. Some real nice cars in this thread !!!
i got some staggard chrome 20's if your interested almost the same price you paid for stocks! hit me up
