I know what you mean I came from a lowly 185hp V6 93 Camry XLE to my LS and I was blown away. I can't even imagine needing 400+hp for anything other than drag racing, track tracing, showing off

For some reason the previous owner decided to basically "de-Sport Design" the exterior and took off the lip spoiler, side Sport Design emblems, and the rear black pearl "L".

I've got a new Black Pearl Lexus Emblem on order, new sport design emblems on order, and am debating on the spoiler. Should I get the lip one or just go with the OEM?

Opinions?

So yesterday in trying to get some of the crap off the passenger side "big" headlight I decided to grab some goof off and go at it...umm...turns out that more or less eats the finish and left me with an even bigger problem.

For me as a Lexus employee...$227 to replace it...doh


Second...what about spoilers? I'm probably going to order one today so let's hear the opinions! OEM or Sport Design Lip?

Wow awesome pickup, did you buy this car off a CL member or did you find it at a dealership? It looks like it's in excellent shape.

-I personally like the OEM spoiler better, the only lip spoiler I've actually started to like is the JP lip spoiler ...

-You felt that the 300 engine was fast and intoxicating? You need to try driving a 430

-Congrats on the car, start modding and post up pics !!

I too like the OEM spoiler more than the lip...we'll see. There are things I like about both.

I don't know that I think the 3.0L is fast but it sure does sound purrrrdy doing what it does

I got the car from a private owner who needed to get rid of it because he was planning to purchase a home. Turns out the car is really in immaculate condition!

A few more from this morning...and if you can't tell I am basically in love


After probably my 20th coat of PlastX (not kidding either, but the stuff works)




The colors on the interior are probably my favorite part of the entire car.
