Aus430

Fitted LED low beams to replace the intermittent HIDs!




Amazing how quick it is to remove the headlights in the ls430. 2 bolts a wiggle then disconnect the plugs.

went to get my front tires rebalanced after rotating them and had them look at the front rotors as well as i'm having vibrations on downhill braking...
balance was ok but rotors couldn't be turned, "heat spots" on them they said

NICE! I almost bought one of these before I got my LS. How is it compared to the LS?

The shim kit is more than the actual pads?! That seems ridiculous.

vredniykot

Yup.
Just another day in the life of a Lexus owner.

mykvr6

truth. I bought all new OEM brake stuff and was surprised the shims cost so much. My car currently has aftermarket pads and rotors on it so of course they toss the factory shims. If only people know how expensive they were! I actually found a set of OEM front and rear shim kits from a parts place local to me selling on ebay.

Not as quiet, not at smooth, not as fast. Still, it's not a bad car and you can still feel the Lexus refinement through out. Only thing that really hampers it are the Quick Struts the previous owner used... they are really awful. For what they paid for them and how bad they ride after only a few years on TX roads... ugh, just awful.

Saw my odometer roll over to 140,000 miles this morning. Car still looks and drives like new.

Discovered a nice crack web on my front right bumper and scuff marks on the edge. Some ahole must have bumped into it in a parking lot somewhere...

Had a free weekend so thought I would finally put my detailer skills and tools to work.
Day one: extensive wash, nano skin cleaner, Meguiars micro fiber correction and polish.

Day 2: Nano tech wax, 303 all rubber seals, clean windows and ready to go! Wanted to try a ceramic coating but forgot to buy some, maybe later.
