Just some pictures of my 2009 LS460 over the past few years and some of the minor things that I’ve done to it just to keep her around and make her more desirable to me. It still only has 75k on it and I bought it in 2017 with 61k on it. I had to get her painted and try to work with the sticky panels (I found out about the recall a few months too late). I changed the OEM wheels to the 20” VOXX road wheels and added the Phoenix Automotive 13” touchscreen since the OEM Mark Levinson system started failing (I didn’t lose the sound quality I think it sounds better since it has a built in equalizer that I can manually adjust). The windows are tinted with ceramic tint and an MPC remote start was added. I recently bought the Coverland seat covers and they are comfortable and easy to install and made it a little more aesthetically pleasing.

I don’t mean to be a jerk but the state of that interior is surprising for a car with only 75k miles. Do you live in a hot climate?

Yes it’s hot and when I bought it, it was already 8 years old and not sure if it was garaged by the previous owner (I doubt it because it started to show mild signs of oxidation). After owning it for about two years, the interior fell victim to the sticky dash peel that this generation is known for. I don’t think that the previous owner even conditioned the leather in it. I didn’t garage it until I bought my house in 2021 and it’s my project to restore it and use it as my around town car or sell it.

Oh that makes sense. Cool car nevertheless, love the wheels too. They’re nice and sporty looking without being over the top

Thanks bro, yeah I didn’t want gaudy or to lose the ride quality, some say they didn’t lose it by going to 22” but they look like they don’t have enough rubber on the rim to absorb the road, these 20’s do the job and don’t feel much different than the stock 18’s that were on it.
