Pole Position
Fitted LED low beams to replace the intermittent HIDs!
Amazing how quick it is to remove the headlights in the ls430. 2 bolts a wiggle then disconnect the plugs.

truth. I bought all new OEM brake stuff and was surprised the shims cost so much. My car currently has aftermarket pads and rotors on it so of course they toss the factory shims. If only people know how expensive they were! I actually found a set of OEM front and rear shim kits from a parts place local to me selling on ebay.

Not as quiet, not at smooth, not as fast. Still, it's not a bad car and you can still feel the Lexus refinement through out. Only thing that really hampers it are the Quick Struts the previous owner used... they are really awful. For what they paid for them and how bad they ride after only a few years on TX roads... ugh, just awful.

Had a free weekend so thought I would finally put my detailer skills and tools to work.
Day one: extensive wash, nano skin cleaner, Meguiars micro fiber correction and polish.
