or, maybe they are on the car already?

Nice review Henry

Don't complain about small stock wheels-you're going to toss them out anyways Freakin cheap *** mb gives you 16s (old w220s)

I wonder if the LS can be lowered with washers like the S class since they have the air suspensions?

Can you pm on the price of your LS OTD (if you can post publicly)?

And Glendale's plate is the first one with Lexus "of".

lol, true that stock wheels don't really matter to me, one way or the other they will go away. but in general i think it's kind of stupid, especially when you see pretty much ALL 3gs and 2is with 18s as well

there is the washer / control arm type lowering technique for the ls460 as well, but it's not as common. part of the reason is you won't be able to easily control the ride height. with the air controller (more common for the ls460 with air) is you can control height from inside the car and there are tons of settings. price is a bit more but install is much easier

glendale is the first lexus dealership using lexus of? that's new, interesting. for sure my wife likes it, she said the glendale plates look cool

The reflection off the GS...a bit of shadow lightening and I get a rough shape. Still hard to see though.
My guess is it looks like these or another 5 spoke with an open rib in each.

I bought my car at Lexus of Concord. It's dealer frame says Lexus of Concord, but totally across the bottom. On the top is their phone number. There is also Lexus of Serramonte in the SF Bay Area. So Lexus of Glendale is not the first "of"

i don't know about history, but your info doesn't automatically make glendale not the first lexus dealership using "of"? no one said it's the only one

anyway, mike, you are thinking too much

I'm not a fan of any advertising on my license plate frames.

The newer plates are quite nice, for a time they were using "Lexus of Glendale.com" in all caps which looked a bit tacky to me. The current plates look substantial and nice, I first saw them at the LS 460 preview held at Lexus of Glendale. Before that they also had a similar design using the Lexus font throughout.

Finally the official announcement, I think the only other person worse than you with the references and no pics is this D2 guy with this Viper he keeps mentioning and no one has seen yet! lol

With your past vehicles serving as a reference I'm sure this is going to be one sick car. Congrats and nice touch with the MIB them on both new Lexus cars.

Enjoy Henry.

Wait . . . . what?!?!?!?!??!

Congrats, Henry. I guess I haven't been watching CL too closely lately. That garage is a work of art.

Probably a stupid question, but which one is yours and which one is the wife's?
