Nice looking ride!! Do you still have the factory wheels? I'm looking for factory 17's or 18's.
Anyone else have a set, chromed or base color will do.

Wow! Fantastic find, Benito! The car is absolutely gorgeous!

Yes, I have a two week old baby girl. She is an angel sent from heaven and we are so happy! Sleep deprived but very, very happy.

Are they really Stook tips? They look good! Might have to think about that one.

The S2000 tips looks great on the LS and also a lot of other cars.

Wow, that definitely takes the cake for best interior color scheme. It reminds me of a designo edtion Mercedes.

I agree the rims have go to go, though. I'll buy your stock ones from you if they're the 18s.

Love the saddle but I pity you with the black. My wife's car is black and it hurts to clean because it shows all the swirls and other imperfections so easily. Then drying it off before water evaporates and causes massive water spots is another challenge. It's literally a half-a-day affair washing her car.

This one does not show any swirls yet.They usually happen when you get a bad wax job with those circular polishers.

I have the same colors but mine is an 05. The custom luxury package is great. Its a big improverment on the interior and the laser cruise is great for me. Mine has 58K on it now. I got it with 8k.miles on it 3 years ago. No one can believe that it is a 7 year old car.
