Default New LS 430 Owner - A Well Known and Respected Member is Back!!!

My great friend and super knowledgeable Lexus expert XSUPERJOEX is BACK!


A previous owner of one of the sickest baddest and meanest GS 400's out there has now returned to the Lexus community with the purchase of an LS 430.

I welcome Joe back and look forward to his active forum and board participation.

I have attached a few small shots of his new ride. I kno whe will shortly add more pics of his own.

Congrats on the new LS Joe, very nice ride

Do you have plans to mod this one, or is it good enough stock

well, the clue in the pictures that said the car is an Ultra is the adjustable air suspension buttons that can be found in the lower part of the dashboard.

Only the Ultra has the air suspension.

Another major feature that comes in the Ultra is the rear seat controls, so you can adjust the rear seat individually and also control radio/climate from the back.

19"s from my GS (Millie Miglia Evo's) with new S03's, the HID's from my GS in the fog lights and the clear "euro" tail lights (you have no idea how much I hate the color amber on a vehicle) and that's about it.

I'm getting a new set of 17" tires for the stock rims a new shift **** and a new Mark Levinson Subwoofer because mine sounds like it's blown unless you guys know of a "known problem" with the sub.

FYI...I love having a cooler/fridge built in to my car...

You guys need to tell me all the secrets about the NAV!

My Levinson sub was blown too. Lexus dealers know about this problem, atleast mine did. Service advisor ordered the sub before I could even finish my conversation with him.
