Talking Finally!!

Hey Guys I know that I have been raving on and on for a long time about the new 03 LX, and I finally took some pictures and got all of my modifications done. I just wanted to post a couple for you to see.

Did your LX come with that pinstripe? If not, did local Lexus dealership do it? It looks fantastic on that white exterior.

Hey Thanks for all of the props on the wheels guys, much appreciated! As far as the upgraded stereo, it sounds great, looks great, feels great, but I lent both of my digital cameras to 2 of my friends and they are away on trips in Japan...sooo I have not gotten around to taking any more pics......PS- I am looking to purchase my father an SUV....Originally he wanted the GX, thinks the RX is not his style, and loves the LX....of course after he saw the mods on my truck. I would be willing to move into other manufactures as well but I am not sure if they will live up to the quality standards that my father has. What are your suggestions? Used 2k3??? I saw some pictues of that Audi A7...looks pretty hot..

Hey LuvLuxury, your LX looks awesome! Hope you don't mind but I'm thinking about copying your exact same wheel and tire package for my LX. Can you please provide some additional info such as the width of the wheels and where you got them as well as the tire size? Also, is it safe to assume that the new wheels and tires have not affected your 4WD or air suspension system? On my visor it says not to alter the size of the tires, but I would assume that as long as one sticks to a tire width of close to the OEM size of 275 and sticks to an overall tire diameter close to the OEM 16" or 18" wheel/tire combo that it should not be a problem. Also, I'm guessing that due to the excellent suspension of the LX and the ability to adjust it to softer settings, that the ride does not suffer from using low profile rubber as much as it would in other vehicles. Any additional info or guidance you can give me would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

As for other SUV suggestions for your Dad, if he likes to drive fast I would recommend he take a look at the Cayenne. I took one for a test drive (non turbo version ) and was very impressed by its driving manners. I'm not a big fan of its looks though.

Default DVD Changer Feed back

GG,

Wanted to ask you about the location you chose to install your DVD Changer....now that you've lived with it there for a while, has it's location hindered the "comfort" of any front seat passengers? Is the unit getting "kicked" about?

I'm wrestling with a rear location mounting vs. your choice (neither is ideal, as the center console would be best, but we know it won't fit - our old FJ80 accepted a changer perfectly). Would you locate it in the same place if you did it all over again?

Thanks and happy fourth!

Bill
