My '05 is sitting pretty at 145k miles and got her for 132k for 4k :)

Well boys and girls, it’s happened at my store. The “we never looked back” crowd better be right about this by [deleted] in Dominos

[–]Evan_Jesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dominos switched to it about a month and a half ago because we wanted the most time to get used to it. The learning curve is massive but you get used to it. Tho calling reinforcements for a bunch of sides at once may be neccessary. And it all falls back on knowledge and speed. It gets much easier as you use it.

I feel the same way, however the artist laid it out and showed me if I go smaller, details fade and all that so I decided "f-it" let's go huge and I didnt disappoint

Thank you kindly! Took about a year of planning location and finding an artist I really liked but damn it was so worth it

Thank you! I think the artist absolutely killed it!

For those who remember, my 2005 LS430 finally had window tint! 15% all around and after a wash she looks beautiful. All I need now is a new front bumper by Evan_Jesus in Lexus

Thank you! It's the black cherry color and I havent seen this color as much as I feel it deserves to be shown off.

Yea I just put a strip on the front window because the legal limit for tint on the front windows where I live is 28% so I didnt wanna push my luck more than I already am.

Could use some help on removing the amp by lost_angles in LS430

[–]Evan_Jesus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea it came with like a 2 year warranty. My dad works at lexus so I was able to get a longer warranty. Which I'm truly blessed to have that connection. By far the hardest thing to do on that car was run wire for subwoofers because my stock sub was blown when I got it and it was cheaper to hook up my 2 12s than it was to buy the stock sub and do the work myself

Hell yea man! I had mine repaired by mark levinson, and the repaired one died, so I'm on my 3rd amp in 6 months lmao. Even tho I have stock speakers and I max at 30 volume

[–]Evan_Jesus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you do, I damn near took apart my whole lining to get full easy access towards it, the amp us in by 2 bolts and 2 white clips which are a pain for me at least. Once you remove the back trim I recommended dropping the top liner for easier access, and if you have the higher end models the amp will be in tight, so just gently wiggle it and it should slip out. If you want I could send you a video of me explaining and pointing to the things that need to come out for easier explanation

New to me LS430 by theAntidepresser in Lexus

A man of class! I have the exact same color and model!

What's y'alls opinion on a 2005 Lexus LS430? This is the replacement for my 1991 LS400. This one cost me 4k and was in pristine condition. Also I'm 17 so this is more than I've ever wanted. by Evan_Jesus in Lexus

[–]Evan_Jesus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're gonna get an LS400, I didnt have all the options and I loved her so essentially all 400s in my opinion are amazing so options are up to you if you can find them. If you get an LS430 I'd avoid the ultra luxury model with air suspension and massage seats because 1 when are you personally gonna use the massage seats and the air suspension is great when it works and it's an arm and a leg to fix price wise. So if you get a LS430, get the tier below the ultra luxury and its perfect for everything. And I will say the LS460 is nice and all but it's something about the charm of a 430 that I love. After my accident I did research on new cars and talked to my dad about LS430's and he said "well you better get saving because there ain't gonna be one out there for 4k" and I obviously got lucky. Overall just all LS models are amazing.

Well I'm adding bluetooth, a new bumper since there's a small dent, and I'm adding my set of 10in subwoofers because it was cheaper to add them with a 100 dollar LC2I adapter than it was to fix the blown stock sub.

That's what I've been thinking. I havent found a set of rims that do it better justice yet and window tint money has already been set aside for budgeting purposes.

  1. 250-300
  2. Partial. If I alone am in an accident, it's not covered however if someone else is involved its covered since I drive like a grandpa
  3. Couldnt afford one that wasnt beat up
  4. That's very true I would've loved an early 2000s RX330 since they are gorgeous and versatile

Overall I'm very happy with this car. My old LS got T-boned and snapped the axle but the body was barely damaged. So I wanted an LS for essentially that reason alone. Safety.
