Thumbs up Joined the 430 crowd

Hey guys,

Bit the bullet and upgraded to the 04 UL. I'm very happy with it. It has a few minor things it needs to be perfect cosmetically but mechanically it's amazing. One of the best service records I have ever seen. On my 99 LS400 I lowered it only 2" with Tanabe's but I'm not going to touch the suspension on this one. I'll just convert it to KYB struts eventually but the air suspension is really nice. Anyway, thanks for all your help in the other thread I had. She drives like a dream. Could not be happier.

● Moonlight Pearl
● Blue Onyx
● Briarwood Pearl
● Flint Mica
● Mystic Gold Metallic
● Crystal White
● Black Onyx
