Its a 2008 that we just picked up last week and so far I'm loving it.
I know its all stock but hopeful it wont stay that way for long.

A picture taken at the dealership when we picked up the car.








Ordered this from Prestigious Society. I'm debating on if i should do the install myself of just go somewhere to get it done.

Woot~ Welcome come to the club!

Nice car and also that JDM lifter box.
I guess you need to take a shower and dress up clean before you butt into your snowflake interior.

Congratulation,

Nice looking ride, and welcome to the LS family. If anything like me, the more you drive it, the more you'll love it.

Congrats! Not sure why, maybe its the white but it looked SWB for a sec and only Japan has SWB and LWB 600h Ls, we only get LWB here.

Happy modding!

Thank You

It has 44,900 miles and we paid $61,700

It was the best deal that i could find on the car in Texas that was in the price range. I couldn't wait for delivery so we took a short flight to Dallas and drove it back to Houston. Flying was faster and cheaper so everything worked out great.

**** you got a nice toy there, with some of the extra options... NICE.
If you read one of my threads, you'll see pictures of the installer who added my air module in the car, and even though it looks a bit difficult, he knocked it out pretty fast, and with the most respect... Covered everything and made it look so easy... The instructions in the book are very detailed in walking you through the entire process... I also added pics tonight of how high and low your system will go and lay!!!! Enjoy the ride, I sure do!!!

Thanks for the info, i love your ride man.

I noticed that you have 22's with 25 and 30 series tires on your car. I'm planning on getting some 24's for my FX45 so i put one of my 22's off of the FX up to the LS to see what it looks like. Do you think those tires would be too big to roll around just for now and i'll just get smaller tires when these go bald?

I just don't want it to rub like crazy when i turn.

Here's a pic of the LS with one of my wheels up next to it.

I Think the tires might be too big, and will give you a 4X4 look, but you got to try it to see how it looks and drives! I personally Think they will be too big to turn up front and cause some serious rubbing! I was looking at 24" wheels, but unless I was gonna do some fender mods, no place would guarantee o would have no issues, so I opted for 22's.

Congrats buddy. You found a real diamond. Those LS600s dont come around to often. In fact I dont think I have ever actually seen one on the streets.

Did the Install yesterday. I swear i stood in front of the car for like 15 minutes before i even popped off the first panel. I've worked on all my other cars with no problem but for some reason the LS was intimidating.
Everything went very smooth though thanks to the English instructions from Prestigious Society. The only problem i had was my glove box kept hitting the lower airbag when i tried to open it. I took everything back apart, realigned carefully when reinstalling, and everything works great.

Everything took me a little more then an hour.
