So I was driving down the road... and I did this!

Clicking this image will take you to my smug mug album

Knee airbags saved me and scared me. I thought my legs were on fire at first. The engine was pushed back about 6 inches, that was the thing that totaled the car.


...anyway... State Farm helped me fix it... kinda got a little bigger along the way.

2008 Black/Saphire LS460L




Coming from the IS it's very familiar but very very different. no more go cart nimble feel. much smoother, much more quiet, not as good on braking, comfort level is through the roof!

So now what to mod?
I think...

• Interior lights to LEDs
• install my SL2ic I pulled from the IS
• air bag controler
• nav hack
• wheels/tires
• nike light leds

Not sure I am happy with the sound of the ML system right now... seems real boomy, might have to change that, that's for another thread though.

WOW congrats on the new car and thank God you are ok after that collision. You went from the bottom to the top of the Lexus line in one jump. Awesome!!

Wow that sucks! I guess I can sell it ... According to the Vaistech site SL2iC-12 works... I need to see what unit I have...

sgmorton

Yes they are and I will let you know... I hope the tax man is nice to me this year!
