New Member with a 07 GL450
Hello everyone, wanted to introduce myself. I picked up an 07 GL450 from Florida and drove it back up to Minnesota 
The drive back was excellent and all the features made it worth while. Plus it was certified so i have the extended warranty. Already had it at the dealer to replace the 6 disc changer, rear door lock actuator, and rear door handle. I didn't think door lock actuator were an issue with the GL, I know my Lexus GS it's a known issue. Regardless the vehicle has the horse power i was looking for, along with the comfort/room.
Few features:
- key less go/entry
- running boards
- navigation
- DVD Entertainment
- Chrome front and rare plates
- Back up Camera
- Tow Package
Modifications:
- just added rear mud guards to help protect the rear from the weather in MN

I did the same to our '09 GL450(sold). On mine, I added the following:
oval shaped fog light and chrome cover, rear bumper skid plate, chrome bumper step, running boards, brushed aluminum window trim (like the ones on the '10 & '11 models), and chrome door inserts.

Congrats! Looks nice. It looks like the previous owner put some extra work into it, like the chrome oval shaped fog lights(vs. round black cover on the 450) and the front skid plate. Does it have the rear bumper skid plate too?
