My new LS430 03
Just got her last month.Had the windows tinted,exhaust extensions,Ipod hookup.Next is Rims.I love the ride and dont want to change it at all so I think maybe 17s or 18 only.The problem is the lady that had the car before me was a curb hitter!!!!The tires are brand new 17s.Dont know if I should wait for 18s after tires wear or stay with 17s and get the rims now?????The car only has 57,500 miles on her.
I hate the way the rims look now.Oh well I will think about this ....

Congrats on your purchase! Looks great and low miles. I just picked up a 03 UL package last month also. Getting tint this weekend. What kind of ipod hookup did you get? I need one.
Its an audiovox and then u need 2 more adaptors total cost 320. I also have the UL pkg.The tint is 50% in the rear and only 5% on the pass and driver window(NJ) and one strip across the top of windshield..Good luck with ur Lexus!!!
Wow! I may go with the vaistech unit. I have it in my SC and love it. Charges my iphone, compatible with steering wheel controls and gets rid of the annoying I AGREE button. I'm going with 20% tint on the front windows and 5% on the winshield. I disconnected the Lexus Link system and added all LEDs to the interior and license plate. Next mission is to re-foam my sub.

nice pick up man. it looks clean. post some photos of your interior. Where you the one to install your Ipod hook up? or did you get it done at a shop. Im using a FM transmitter right now and i hate it..
I too like the exhaust extensions and have read all the previous threads on the install. Does your extensions come out straight or do they turn slightly downward? Did you have to adjust the muffler or rear bumper cover to allow clearance as not to heat up the rear cover?

Congrats! looks clean!
I noticed more of a difference in ride going from 17" to 18"wheels than I did going from Stock suspension to BC Coilovers on the softest setting... I don't think an aftermarket rim smaller than 18"s will look right on the car. If your ever in the md area you can see how my car rides on 18s and coils, just let me know.
