Default Hey all!

Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself.

I just picked up a new to me 2004 LS 430 CL in blue onyx and saddle interior.

Only had the car a few days but really liking it.

Also wanted to say thanks to all the knowledgable and helpful people on this forum...I was lurking for a while as I did my homework before I made my purchase and the great info on here really helped me make a much more informed purchase - so thanks!

Thanks for the warm welcome everybody!

I know the saddle interior is a love it or hate it option, but I have to say I really love it! I had seen it before with white and black exteriors but not with the blue and I personally think it really works nicely together.

I found some reasonably priced OEM 5 spoke 18s on ebay and will swap them out in the next couple of days. I really like how those look on the cars that I've seen so am looking forward to getting those put on!

I also picked up a 2004 LS 430 a couple a days ago. I just joined the forum today and it has been helpful already. This forum can save us soo much money on little things that we can do ourselves. Im really loving my Lexus and I am sure you are doing the same. Your car looks beautiful. I will post up my pics soon.
What type of tire do you have on your car and how do you like them?

Welcome us to the proud owners Lexus Forum!!
