Default Hello Everyone

Hello everyone,

My name is Rich and I joined back in 2004. I never posted anything as I was a lurker. I have not been on the form since 2004 but just recently found it again.

I have a 2001 Lexus LS430UL that I bought back in 2004 used with 19,000 miles. It was originally silver that I had painted black with a blue pearl as all my vehicles that I have owned over the past 6 years have been black. It's very hard to maintain a black car but in my eyes no color looks better than black. My interior is Ecru with the very hard to find as least at the time dark gray birds eye maple wood.

The vehicle is pretty much stock except for some 20" Zenetti wheels, blacked out taillights and chrome front grille. I recently removed my black tint and think the car looks better without it.

I will try an post some pictures when I get a chance.

The car has been very good to me and I consider it my commuter car.

I look forward to meeting some of you and learning some more information about the car and getting some useful tips.

Thanks,

Rich
