The Official 01-03 to 04-06 Conversion Facelift and Rear Pics Inside

Finally I get around to doin this. Been wanting to post pics up for awhile. I did the conversion pics and everything! BIG Thanks to GATO and vietdeluxx for the help...also my dad was there to participate a bit. Using his shop as well....Anyways its been a long journey....., I know the LS430 thread needed some new hype...... Enjoy

Oh.....and here to confirm the parts needed:

Front:
Hood (also the grille that comes w/ it)
Fenders
Headlights
Front Bumper (w/ fogs)
Headlight Support from 04-06

Rear:
Trunk (trunk bar if it didn't come w/ it)(emblems which I believe are a little diff)
All 4 piece tailights
***and you really don't need the rear bumper*** But it looks better IMO, but of course in my pics I skipped it and got a kit...

Let the pics begin:

Thanks John, when it was being customized I was kind of going for the Vlene front bumper look, but not exactly......Vlene front bumper is rounded off,....so I kind of liked that look.......
