Why is there a "DUTLER" emblem on the right side? It looks like a left hand driver but it has a swiss tag?

Probably cuz it's a Euro version of the LS...notice the inner middle tail lights are shorter than ours, and it also has driving/fog lights in the front under the turn signals. Man I wish our LS's were like that.

1. "Dutler" is his name.
2. Swiss cars are left hand driver

Default Tail pipe tips

I have an '03 LS430 and I notice I cannot even see the tail pipes unless I get beneath the car. Your show, which look like "just" beyond the bumper. Could you tell me the name of tip or did you just go to a muffler shop? Thanks, Phil

That's because his is a 1st gen LS ('90-'94)...they come stock like that. The 2nd gens ('95-'97), 3rd gens ('98-'00), and the 4th gens ('01-'03) don't have the exhaust showing like the 1st gens and newer '04's. I believe there are a couple members (Lexkost from whom I can remember) with 2nd and 3rd gens who have successfully cut openings in their rear bumpers and installed tips that show the exhaust like the 1st gens and new '04's.

Used a dremmel tool to cut plastic so tips could come straight out,I don't remember the brand of tips I used , but I like the look.
