My 2004, totally stock but still gorgeous. Not my house though. That was a vacation rental in France. :-)

This car is a great family car. An excellent substitution for a crossover or even a proper SUV. Great interior space. Great trunk space. It literally has more interior and cargo space than many SUVs. You can even add a rooftop box for extra storage for long road trips. Oh and the gas mileage on road trips is amazing. And it's great long-range cruiser with room and comfort for everyone. All you have to do is setup an iPad/iPod holder to play movies for the kid(s) if needed.

If I had 19's or 20's, I'd swap the OEM wheels back on for a family trip for comfort, MPGs, and peace of mind when it comes to bad roads.

It's the perfect family car.

There are actually 2... ! I roll with 3 kids in the back, oldest just graduated out of needing a seat and sits in the middle. Trunk is big enough for the youngest to sit in and use a portable potty when we're on the go.
it's basically a glorified minivan at this point 😀

Love your spec! Thats the look I'm aiming for.
What should I search exactly when I'm looking for the same tail litais. I searched up celsiors and all have amber outer lenses.

Default 107k LS430 beaut


picked up this beautiful beast last month. already did a few things already like changed both side mirrors becuase the ones it came with were garbage, cracked and didnt fold in. added some window visors. coilovers were installed 3 days ago, today i adjusted all 4 corners. 26” all around, measure from the ground to the top fender. added some spacers so its a bit flush.

now on to finding sick *** wheels.

This post is a long time coming.
Here is mine. It is a 05 UL. LOVE the ride. Has 180k, but I plan on driving it, relative stock (except for converting the air ride.. when it finally dies) to 500k+

Will make a proper intro thread at some point soon.



My 05

after a long stretch I finally had time to clean her up. Can’t wait to get the suspension and wheels and tires on.
