djspawn00 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 often it just means you paid more for shiny stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartkat Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 It means somebody got the gold package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90LS400Lexus Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 My old 1990 LS400 (as seen to the left of this) had it and I hated it. It did not go well with the dark maroon color in my opinion. Looks good on some colors though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I've seen alot of them too (they were popular with Caddy's years ago....Bling....Bling! ;) ). Because they are gold plated, they will fade & look pretty gawdy after several years. Never cared for them personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raymsixsix Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 To me the gold package was the bling of the 80's. Nowadays the bling is chrome rims B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcrome04 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Some black cars with gold package look good. Some white cars too. Just depends on the car personally, but I'd prefer chome over gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90LS400Lexus Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 DC... whats ironic is that my 1990 LS400 with the gold lettering (as seen to the left) was originally from Florida! :P Just a buyers choice, Older gen. buyers (like retired floridians) tend to opt for the Gold Package IMO.
