Sorry for resurecting such and old tread but I figured since I started this tread with pic of my car earlier in the year, you all can see what it is today...or at least what it was this past weekend at our annual car show.
I can't ride around with the lip kit so I need to get me some air now. Damnit!!! I sooo wanted to avoid it.
But here's a pic (theres more out there this and other forums) but I'm too lazy to look for them (and I did not take this pic).

Your car looks awesome and best of show quality.
I'll give you the gold medal without looking at the other cars.DanozLs430....

Thanks for the comps fellers. In that pic, my spec is as follows...
Front: 20 x 8.5 (+40), 235/35-20
Rear: 20 x 9.5 (+35), 245/35-20
Tein CS (fully cranked down)
JP SS kit
3mm spacer in front (not used for driving)
The SS kits are pretty easy to install.
There are some roads and driveways here on Oahu thats pretty ****ty. I'd rather not risk it. Hopefully by the end of ther year I'll be on air and a different kit.
Dan, you should have seen the other LS430's at the show. Waaaaay nicer than mine. The LS430 guys were thinking of doing a LS430 meet/cruz. I'll keep you updated when they let me know when and where.

yeah mang, air fo' sho'. i had coilovers on my 240's and my g35....which was cool...jus sucked scraping/cracking kits. all buss.
BTW: how much did u pay for ur jdm illuminated plate? is it the old skool one (bulbs behind the plate) or the newer one (Electro luminiscent....EL something...haha)? Was that from Ebay? was gonna pick that up, but decided to spend 3 bills else where.

BeanGrower, you should post pics of your ride. I swear, I could NOT stop gawking at your ride at the show.
Congrats on the win...well deserved. I'll let you know if I hear anything. Hector was mentioning an idea.
Yes, the kit is VS (generic) but it was EXTREMELY cheap and I needed something for the show. I am in the plans on getting something else though. I'll keep everyone posted.

damn your car came out super nice. damn i'm jealous. i wish i could afford a kit, but it still wouldn't come close as clean as yours. if you don't mind me asking where and how much was the kit?
