Same for yours - the wheels look better on yours than the 430. It looks like a new car Take a look at this 98-00 - just lowered with rims, black grill and headlight inserts - always thought it was cool.

Oh yeah, I remember this car!!! This is the kid with the Q45 retrofits in the headlights who got arrested and his car confiscated, along with others, after they were raided for being part of a massive credit card fraud(Identity theft). I think some lucky person picked this car up at auction. Anyway, here are the links to follow:

Wow, that sucks. But don't dealers usually get first pick at the nicer cars at police auctions?

There aren't any really public police auctions around here, so I dunno how that works...

This was out in California. Not sure how there system works out there, or even if the car had been auctioned off. I thought I remembered reading somewhere that it had been tho.

I have a smugmug.com account, I'll have to upload there. Do I still have the photo size limits? I'm not dying to upload huge files, but the photos from the camera are huge and it took 4 or 5 tries to downsize them to fit.

tcho82 very nice lexus..im a big fan of people who keep their lexus stock looking. while i like VIP style, im not a big fan of huge chrome rims and excessive camber on older LS400s. Not much can beat the classy look of a stock LS, all i would do to my future LS would probably be a 1-2inch drop and some OEM lexus wheels off a newer car, and upgrade all interior and electronics.
