Default Help identifying this trim??

Hi everyone! I am starting my search for my 3rd LS430, I can't get away from these cars. My last one was an UL and I am really wanting to stay as the air suspension was a mess. So I saw this car and saw the headlight washers, immediately dismissed it as a UL, but then started flipping through and discovered this is a strange car. I checked my 01 brochure and headlight washers, semi aniline and parking sensors arent stand alone options.

Any ideas? I thought maybe it had the front bumper replaced with a UL bumper, but the wood inside isn't an UL color. WEIRD!

If it has headlight washers but no air suspension adjustments, it's the Custom Luxury package, which skips the air suspension and back seat features (they're still heated, just not cooled, reclining and massage).

Edit: Though the custom luxury package should have Nav, and this doesn't. I did recently see an Ultra Lux with no nav and it's supposedly made for Hawaii, so I'm wondering if that may be it - Custom Luxury with no nav?

That's what I originally thought but in 2001 the custom luxury came with Navigation. This car doesn't have it. It also doesn't have a cut out for the laser cruise control on the front bumper

There was an earlier thread about a "mystery" car with a similar configuration.
It turns out that the 01-03 LS430s had a much wider list of stand-alone options than the 04-06s.
I don't have an 01-03 brochure, but I'm sure that someone here does, and can shed some light on these configurations.

Strange indeed. The picture up top is the options page on an 01. I guess there can always be special cars like this, just fascinating to see it.
