I actually took it to a body shop my Lexus dealer recommended. The shop did everything. The bumper is like new. They did such an amazing job. I'm going to have a Clearbra put on next to try and keep it like this.

I actually never looked at another that close before without a front License plate. I always thought someone screwed up and drilled the extra holes in the front. Then I just saw were someone else mentioned the 4 different holes also. lol!

They did a great job on your Car. I have what I think is Clear Bra on mine now. Its starting to get a little Hazy looking. In another thread there was mention about other Film cover that was better than Clear Bra. You may want to check before you do Clear Bra.

Got the full frontal wrap in XPEL Ultimate today. Good stuff, I actually can barely tell that there's anything there

I'd do it if I could afford it. I have the immediate front only covering and it saved my paint from the tons of rocks on the Houston roads.

Now that 1 guy with 4 black Lexuses (Lexi), he's got enough Lexus money to buy a nice house.....

We are frozen H-town brothers. And, a fleet of Lexi is always impressive, no matter the years and models.. LS400s still look great to me lowered with nice wheels.

Had 4 New KYB Gas Adjust Struts installed. Ride quality is great, nice tight handling. I got them from Amazon much less that the Dealer. They are the AVS Struts.

Also installed new spark plugs and these Accel ignition coils. I can feel the difference in the coils and new plugs. Also had some other Maintenance done like Upper Engine Decarb cleaning, Trans drain and fill with Valvoline full synthetic Trans Fluid.

Riding smoother and tighter, acceleration alot more responsive, Tran shifts more positive, and smoother. Got a few more Maintenance things to do, then on to Performance stuff like Headers, ECU, and then the Re-Fresh Updated Body mods.

They were in pretty good shape when I got the car but then roughly the second week I had it I added a nice bit of curb rash that went into the painted area. The advantage of a CPO....they're not completely perfect so the first ding you put on yourself doesn't feel quite as bad.

Default The Anniversary....

So....one year ago today I test drove her for the first time and brought her home that night. Today she was treated to a nice bath (more on that in another post) and we spent some quality time together doing a little photo shoot around town. A few shots tonight....more over the next few days. Of course there had to be a parking garage thrown in in signdetres honor....

Thanks to everyone here who answered all my early questions and made today possible. It's been great to converse with folks and learn about these wonderful cars.

As one can see, we have some beautiful weather in the PacNW...it's not all drizzle and rain in the winter. Unless you're thinking of moving here...in that case it rains ALLLLLL winter long

She also hit a milestone last night on the way home.....ODO hit 46,000
