Hi Guys! I always been a big fan of the classic & sexy look of the 2nd gen GS430. Here it is: Black on Black GS430 with Navi, ML, Woodgrain steering wheel and factory chrome rims. It drives like a dream and better than I imagine.

I gotta do the 90k service asap but besides that I will probably just upgrade the suspension [Not sure on Coilovers or Shocks/Springs - I want to keep a little of the Lexus ride quality] and wheels [20" aftermarket chrome/polished wheels - Not sure of the design].
Im looking at this kit from rockauto.com $254.79
http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1798458
It includes: Engine Timing Belt Component Kit With Water Pump
AISIN kit includes the following components:
* AISIN Water Pump
* Koyo Idler Bearing
* Koyo Tensioner Bearing
* Mitsuboshi Timing Belt
* Water Pump Gaskets & O-Rings
Should I also buy a thermostat from rockauto and other dry belts? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time and help.

That's the kit that I got from RockAuto but for $160 instead. Keep checking their website because they occasionally lower prices on their parts. I've seen it happen already twice with this kit.
Congrats on your ride! Looks clean! I got 01 430 black on tan but yours is cleaner on the outside at least from pics. Beautiful color but a ***** to maintain
