Funny....you must be talking about the Cypress Pearl color. I just pick up an LS in that color a couple months ago and I'm still not 100% used to it. I had a Silver LS430 before that and I loved that color combo. I bought the Cypress Pearl because I felt like I got a good deal on a pretty solid one owner car. I had to forego color over car quality. 80% of the time I'm totally fine with the color but when it's sunny outside and it's is certain light it's way to green for my liking. My plan is to move on to a 460L in a couple years anyway.
Nope, its 6S5, simply known as Green. As far as I know it was used only on 2000 model LS's because I haven't seen another pre-face like mine in that colour. Its also a ***** to colour match, especially when a crap panel shop has been there before me.
Also I managed to find out that I've put too much paint on one of my parking sensors. Not helpful when you aren't really sure where the front of the car is
Prepared her for a journey, prolly 500 miles in 3 days. Funny to think one's car with over 90k may be the most reliable in the stable--never needs a drop of oil nor coolant (mention that because it came with none in the reservoir)...all fluids stay where they are. Look MA, no leaks! (unless they're hitting the underbelly)
Not something I did today per se'. But I have installed the USA-Spec BT45-TOY bluetooth receiver behind my radio controls in the center dash of my 2003 LS. Previously I had the VIASTech MML USB stick media player. But I was getting tired of removing the USB, loading it with new files when i got new music, and re-creating the m3u's (and calculating the length of the new file and convert them to seconds). So I went with convenience and got the BT45-TOY for phone-bluetooth connectivity.
I'll probably write a review and comparison of both in the coming weeks as I get to use all the function and peculiarities of the BT45-TOY.
I went to GTH Installations in Montreal and had my windows tinted 50% front (light but it keeps the cops away), 35% rear, 20% in the back. Oh, and headlights clear protection film 😁
I haven't done much in the past year to the car and needed to do some maintenance things. The other day I had my timing belt and other stuff replaced at the shop. Finally have that taken care of. The other thing that really bothered me about the car was probably the armrest. I believe they were touched up prior to me buying the car. The left right had too much filler and looked bad, and the right side had the coloring going and it looked green and dirty from the material underneath. Came across the SEM paint solution a few weeks back. I had never attempted to touchup any interior stuff before. Finally attempted it last night and I was blown away with the results. I really wish I had taken a before picture. There is such a massive difference its unbelievable to me.
I noticed that there was a bit of roughness after painting. So what I did was use 2000 grit sandpaper with a leather cleaner as lubrication and sanded slightly in 1 way. It got rid of it perfectly and it has 0 roughness. I will likley tackle other stuff that looks faded as this turned out awesome!
