Another expensive UL feature to watch out for
#17
When my car got vandalized insurance covered that piece because it was scratched and yes all 1200 of it. Thing is, the mechanic said it's the sensor behind it that really costs that much to replace and he has no reasoning on why that plastic piece was covered. No complaints here, just a new chrome billet grille

i saw an ls with side curtains on saturday but i don't think it was a UL, were the side curtains an add on as well on other than UL trims??
so you can't just order the little plexi L window separately anywhere?

Side curtains
Seems the little Plexi is not a standalone piece and must be ordered with the whole unit, as originally posted by the OP. That really stinks the big one. I guess be very careful not to break anything on the front.

So to do a complete proper retrofit on a car without the certain, it is about $2400 per side before labor

so i guess it pretty safe to say that if you see an 04-06 ls 430 w/ sunshade that its a UL. well this dude at least wasn't returning of my fellow UL love. i pulled up next to him and saw the curtain, gave him the nod and was not even given the courtesy of the return nod. didn't see the pcs or the crooked stance so i thought the dude was either a douche or didn't actually have a UL so therefore no UL love

Or, maybe he couldn't see through his sunshades...

i knew, i spent that much for a toyota emblem
by the way the pcs feature is awesome. one time someone just out of no where came out from a small street. i slam on the brakes and it pull my seat belt really tight. lucky stop in time after i release the brakes it release the seat belt.
those of you make sure fasten your seat belt at all times. other wise this feature won't work.

material is made from lexan which is one of the most durable and should really take a beating before it ever cracks,, of course years of sun exposure does not help it as it will discolor,,
have had people ask me why Lexus would place a piece of plastic in the center of their grill,, of course after they hear my story about why and what it is made of their answer is WOW,, now I can add the $$$$ factor,, also interesting at times when anther 430 passes I have seen the driver look over at the front of the car,, figured they were looking for the glass badge in the grill to help determine the extras,, wish Lexus would have just placed a UL after the 430 on the trunk,,
