The 2IS chassis is very rust resistant. My Lexus tech buddy in central indiana said he never sees rust on them, which is impressive.

That said, I park mine in the winter. I’ve contemplated driving it year round, I just can’t seem to bring myself to do it.

The car gets pulled out maybe two or three times all winter and only on nice clear dry days.

I bet my car is about as clean and rust free as anyone's. I am pretty good at keeping my cars rust free. Here are a couple of pics of my 1998 GS400 which was my daily driver until I sold it this past summer after 15 Ottawa winters. The undercarriage on this car was remarkably clean.

Dropped off my car at my buddy's shop. Valley plate leak and trans fluid drain and fill getting taken care of. Plus installing new oem engine mounts and starter.

What a beautiful car!

btw, It looked like you are missing wheels decals. I have a ton of extra Advan GT decals.I ordered 6 sets but they sent 60 decals instead lol. My detail guy blast the crap out of my rims and always seems to manage to mess the decals up lol. PM me your address and I’ll send some your way for free.

Thank you! I just picked it up from a good friend of mine, the credit goes to him for his vision, I just have to maintain it now and not ruin it

Thank you for the offer and wow, but I prob won't put any additional decals on the wheels. Save them for someone who would put them to better use than I would =)
