thanks very much for your info about what you have changed, I did notice the mirrors has turning lights on them which are not available in 07~09models, I am still learning everything from her. I live in Vancouver near UBC, feel free to visit me or her if you pass by.

hi, Chris
some questions I like to ask you.
I am thinking to repaint the front grille (it's not totally black now), how do you do it?
Did you paint it yourself or shop?
And should I wax the body? If so, what kind of wax you use before?
Do you recommend any mechanic shop for service in lower mainland except from Lexus dealers? It has been raining lot recently, I haven't take her out often.
I will take care of her!
Thanks again

I did the grill with Plasti-Dip. Eventually I was going to get it wrapped or painted.

I used the Klasse system. Every year I'd do this with a random orbital buffer. Klasse will last a good 8 months. It's been my favorite for years, I've tried many others.

Yeah a LOT of rain. Take her out...she won't melt. For service that I didn't do myself, I used the Toyota dealer. Much cheaper than Lexus. I know it's a long drive to Chilliwack, but I can speak highly of Valley Toyota.
These guys on SW Marine Dr are close to you and seem to specialize in Lexus.: https://pawlikautomotive.com/car-mak...service/lexus/

That is unbelievable. Looks awesome. How's that Ford Taurus though, roadfrog? Ready to trade it in yet? Just kidding!
Get that '08 to 300k miles. I'll race you (I'm at 232k and going strong)!
