Default My New (to me) '96 LS

Hey guys,

Just found this forum the other day and i really love it.. it seems like a nice group with gobs of info. She's a black 1996 LS400 with 145,000 mi on the clock. She checked out alright and seems to be well taken care of. Valve cover gaskets, drive belt, and hood struts need replacing.. any suggestions on where to buy? This will be my DD so not too much will be happening to it, but next week I will hopefully have a double din Pioneer D3 and tint going in.

Some pics:








Then I decided to do a little sprucing up in the engine bay....

before:


After:




I LOVE the new car and can't wait to spruce her up a bit.

Welcome to the UCF20 club, hope you enjoy your stay.

Go to Lexus of Pembroke Pines' parts website and order the drive belt and valve cover gaskets there.
Then go to eBay and buy the hood struts there. I bought the eBay hood struts and they work great for me.
