Default My LS430

Hey guys, so in march of 2013, i purchased this marron/ beige LS430. i was coming from a toyota soarer ( Lexus SC, for those who don't know) and i couldn't be happier with this car. I bought it with 168,000 KM, the car is now at 193,000 and i have had anything but smiles with it. I have only done little things like LED interior lights, tint, and fog. I plan to lower it on some wheels and coil overs as soon as this albertan winter is done. But anyways, here are some photos of it!

I think those were on someone's here, another Canada guy, so they probably are. I think they're going to look great against your color too, good choice!

I am located in alberta, i see you're Canadian as well. it seems like these cars are pretty rare up here compared to in the states.

Those wheels are sexy! They are going to match up well with your color combo! Looking good. Keep up the good work!

they are definitely rare, I hardly see anyone , and if I do its always a much older Gent.

The only thing that bothers me is when I had my SC400, anytime I saw another one on the road we would wave to eachother, or give a thumbs up, or even stop to talk , when it comes to the LS its not like that.

They show no LS love it seems between fellow owners.
