Hi Ben, your going to love this car, I bought my LS400 recently, (98 model) and love it, so smooth and powerful to drive, i had to replace the gas shocks on the bonnet recently, as they were knackered, your probably wise to this, but never source parts from a Lexus dealer, their prices are astronomic, hope you have many hours of pleasure driving your LS400.all the best, Iain.
