I dont have any parts to show and share just yet. Just thought I'd intro myself here on the LS430 thread. My name is Dennis and from Guam. I currently own a 2002 GS300 and was recently selected to be featured in US VIP Magazine vol3; check thread here https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...ml#post8071757 In case you guys are wondering, I still have the car and will finish it off at a later time.

I picked up this 2005 just past June with a little over 32,000+ miles. Man, this thing is a beast. I'll be using this thread as my build thread. Since I got the car, I've been price sourcing parts and just gathering info on what I want to do. I already know what theme I'll be doing and looking into later on this year to early next year to start the build.

 

Beautiful... CL or UL trim?

 

... ...

 

Not a UL for sure.

freakin Cuz. hahahaha..

 

Congrats. That is one sexy gs.

 

Congrats on the LS
Your GS build is we'll be looking forward to what you have in store for the LS.

 

Nice GS...I am sure that cherry LS will follow suit

 

Interesting! For the USA market, the headlight washers would indicate that it must be either a CL or UL.
However, the compass in the dash indicates no Nav (which is present on both CL and UL).
I think it is not a US car, but could you confirm by posting the next to bottom line on the VIN tag on the driver's door frame? I am very interested in what follows "UCF".

Lextacy671 - Why do you say not a UL for sure?

 

I have read in Hawaii even the UL doesn't necessary have Nav. I can assume Guam is the same. Nice pick.

 

No rear temp controls, no factory air suspension. But here's some pics to help clarify..





My cuzn's LS there has the navi but not a UL.

 

Lovely!

How expensive are cars there? Is it like Puerto Rico where they add on another 30% in excise tax?

 

pretty expensive..hahahaha. im not sure on how much the mark ups are out here. but i think it's pretty much comparable to the states.

 

Thanks for the clarification.
I had forgotten that the Hawaii (and presumably Guam) vehicles did not have Nav.
That makes sense because there were no maps/POIs, and it would be very poor advertising.
Interesting that the configuration code on the placard is identical to mainland US.

 

Nice pick up. 32k miles. Wow. That thing is brand new.

 

good stuff bro! get started already!!! i need to make a build thread too haha
