waijai's 04 Lexus LS430 UL

The car has gone through a lot of iterations throughout the past couple years, as I learned more and more about what works and what doesn't. This is how it sits in it's current state.

2004 Lexus LS430 Ultra Luxury
* Crystal White Exterior
* Saddle Interior
* AirRex Air Suspension
* Accuair E-Level Management
* Wald Aero Kit w/ Wald trunk spoiler
* Futura Design BBK front & rear
* Work Gnosis HS203 in BRU finish
* OEM extended rear lower camber arms
* Megan Toe & Traction arms
* Sylvania lighting throughout
* Chrome door handles
* AVS window visors
* Black chrome emblemless grill

Nicely done!

I love how the Bazreias looked on there. But gotta love the step lip on the Works.

Ride on the AirRex is great...no complaints. I'm able to drive and ride low and it's not bouncy like when riding low on factory air suspension.

We won't have a booth, but we have a widebody IS250 that will be there sporting our brakes in this same color combo. It will be parked outside representing Scosche.

Thanks airmax!

I'm pretty much done with the car for the time being, since I just bought a new house. I might tinker with the audio a bit by replacing the factory speakers, but other than that no additional plans.
