Its actually quite easy. Add the 2 separate froums a the top of this section. Don't allow any more thread to be created in this section. Leave the existing threads as they are. In time the combined one will get old enough that it can be archived and Viola! I've done it on another car forum I helped moderate. And to be perfectly honest it's the main reason I don't frequent this board as often. Too many inapplicable threads to sift through.

Rims look nice.

Glad to hear its back to normal. Can you tell me where the fuel filter is located on your '98?

You need to check out Clublexus.com or vipstylecars.com You'll find all the answers you're looking for. Just a quick note, if you absolutely must retain every bit of 'couchness' keep the same rim diameter. I had 20's and coilovers and was more than satisfied. All personal preference. Good quality tasteful 19's or 20's are not ghetto by any means.

Its the optional centre console phone cable.

Lowered price bump $2000 shipped

I just pulled all my Nakamichi out of my 2000 LS. PM me if you want it.

There's lots plastics that are painted. Either way, I'm sure I'm not the first to want to paint an aftermarket piece to match. In fact I had a chance to call the dealer today and they said its 'LG03'. We'll see if anyone can replicate it for me.

I'm looking to put a double din radio in my '00 LS and I want to paint the trim kit to match the HVAC controls. Anybody know the paint color or code?

Had a local retorofitter install FX45R Bixenon projectors and Porsche Cayenne shrouds. I'll add pics of light output comparison later. I still have to go through the process of aiming them correctly tonight. I can see the cutoff in my garage and it's it's a million times crisper than the OEM HID. Excuse the filthy car it's been raining for 4 days here.

Ditto. Easiest, cheapest most reliable fix.

Nice post dasha1. Very informative.

20" Stepped Lip Work Euroline DH 20x8.5 +45 w/ Pirelli Nero 245/35/20 20x9.5 +40 w/ Pirelli Nero 275/30/20 Tires have about 6k on them with little to no camber wear as I was only running 2.5 degrees. Wheels have NO rash. Only 1 front wheel has 2 nicks from the wheel shop leaning one against the other when they were mounting the tires in the spring. One cap needs a little TLC to get the clear back to normal. Was like that when I bought them. Noone noticed and I didn't really care too much. Pics on the car from 3 days ago: Front driver: Front Passenger (w/ nicks circled in red): Rear Driver (cap needs a little TLC): Rear Passenger: $2500 shipped anywhere in 48 States & Canada. Wheels are located in Toronto, Canada but will be shipped from Niagara Falls, NY 14304 for US buyers to avoid brokerage/duties etc..

Care to share where you found all these seats?

Looking for fogs for both sides including corner markers (?) for my 2000 LS400. 4 pieces total.

Thank you sir.

About $1000 is reasonable for the timing belt, water pump, idler pulley's and bearing. $550 is to good to be true. Don't even try to qualify their quote. It'll bite you in the end.

I thought so too. My local mechanic had replaced the starter on his own '91 & a customers '93 in the past. It took hime 4 hours from start to finish. So they really just charged me the actual labor cost and the part. Chef: What package does the LS430 come with? That will definitely have an effect on the cost.

The wheels are 20" Work Eurolines (step lipped). The car has treated me well other than the starter going. $650 US later and I was back on the road.

My car is a Millenium Edition as well originally from Spinelli Lexus in Pointe Claire. I didn't think it had any rust when I first bought it as well. Much to my dismay, when I took off the plastic wheel well edge protectors to roll the fender lips I found some surface rust. Bad design from Lexus. Either way, this is what It looked like the day I bought it: And this is what it looks like today:

I recently paid $13k CDN incl. taxes etc.. for a 2000 LS with 64k miles on it. Timing belt, water pump etc... cost me $1200 CDN at a local shop.

Had my local mechanic replace the starter with a complete remanufactured one. Took him 4 hours in total. Total cost $650 US. No problems anymore. Thanks for all your input guys.

Ya I know. I've been researching and it looks like a serious PITA. I just can't think it's anything else.

I cleaned the terminals and made sure all the connections were good. Still same problem. I had the battery tested with a device that does the cranking load simulation and all is good. I think its the starter. I say this because if I roll it forward a little it starts - at least 80% of the time.
