NICE!! Looks like the exact one I am getting. 04 LS430 UL Blk/Blk, mine should be here next week.

We need to talk together to make sure we don't end up getting same stuff. LOL
However I am sure our plans are different.

I too have shared that same desire to VIP an LS430. Hopefully once I finish my GS430 Ill get that opportunity. Great find btw. Those features are rare to find in such a clean car.

I'm planning on getting a UCF30 also, but non ultra luxury.

I'm going to go with coilover set up so no reason to get the UL oem air bags.

Great acquisition Gato!! Can't wait to see how she turns out. On a side note, I finally got to see your car first hand last month. We had a car meet in downtown Atlanta, and lo and behold, Mike, aka Sicklex, told me your car was there. I had to check it out. Talked with the new owner. Very enthusiastic fella. That fitment is spot on!!! Again, congrats on the new ride!! Now get modding already!!!
