New Member Intro

Hi Everyone! I would like to introduce myself. My name is Andy and I'm in Redding Ca. I have wanted a LS 430 Not for quite some time as well as a LS 460. I finally got a 01 silver LS with 145k miles. I am extremely happy with the vehicle, and have been a long time Toyota and Lexus fan. I have owned an Auto Performance and Repair shop since 1999. Before that I had a Car Audio Shop for 7 years. My daily driver is a 1997 Land Cruiser with a remote turbo system. I love to modify cars, but can really appreciate the engineering that was done at Toyota with the 430! This is a great vehicle in stock form! I would post a pic, but it is stock, so no need to show it yet. Thank You in advance for putting up with my questions. So... my car is silver (non UL) and I am going to start with suspension, wheels & tires.

Congradulations on your new ride. The people on this forum are great and extremely helpful. The best part is they are not at all obnoxious as on other forums! Welcome.

Welcome- it's amazing how wheels and tires and a mild drop on the LS really make it look 100X better, I love classic looking rims. like BBS. The LS, I think is a tricky car to get right and can easily be made ugly or cheapened by the wrong set of rims. Keep her classy! :-)

The rear wheels I liked are on back order till mid to late November.
