Any interest in a different kind of picture thread, that has relatively stock 430's? I would like to see amateur photos of your 430's maybe in nice locations with pretty nature around, or just at home in the drive way.

The only rules for this thread are:
Cars are the stock ride height
No ground effects
No pimp machines or rice mobiles
aftermarket wheels and tint are ok

Also, I would really like to see some cars with high miles, that get driven not weekend show machines.

I will go first, here is my CPO 05 that I just bought. The pics are taken at the dealer, just before I picked it up

As soon as I have the chance I will post more pictures of the car at fun locations I drive. I encourage you to please post photos of your car, especially in fun locations!

Thanks!

Good idea - very nice looking car - I like the light tint windows with the gold paint color. In a couple of the pics, the rear passenger door looks slightly darker shade - hopefully just the angle and shadow.

Here's a few of mine, a 2004 flint mica/black, ML trim. I will try to get some good daytime shots in soon. Nice ride btw, been wanting the 18in 5 spokes ever since I started looking for 430s.

I noticed the rear passenger door shade as well in two different pictures. Did the dealer specify there was no paint work?

Caddy - the chrome 18s look excellent with that color.

LOL folks say that, but I tend to prefer a bit less bling.

Finally a thread my car qualify for

The only rule my car violate is the slightly lowered ride height. It is a 05' UL daily driven by me with 83k miles on it now, it hasn't develope a single rattle yet.

BNR34 that, in my opinion, a perfect ride height. Nice yet still practical for most roads. Can you estimate how much it is lowered from stock? And I think you must be holding out on us 'cause your wheels look pretty flush...are you using spacers?

PS Thanks to the OP for this thread. The VIP looks in the Gallery are impressive, but don't look too comfy/practical.

Thank you. Yes I feel the same way. I would love to have that hellaflush, slammed look, but too impractical for my daily driving needs. My car still feel and drive stock.

Quote: Can you estimate how much it is lowered from stock?
About one inch front and rear.

Yes, 15mm front, 25mm rear spacers.

carguy and jabberwock - thanks you guys, that is a shadow, the door is the same color.

Jabberwock bnr34 and and monkey butt, very nice looking cars. I agree with you guys, these cars are so beautiful. Just love them all, but I like the conservative looks like ours with out the bodykits. Thanks for making this thread go!!!!

That is so appropriate, since the LS430 looks like a tank

Yeah I rarely like bodykits, especially from the aftermarket.

I like it smooth and subtle
