Just an update as some changes have happened with my car.
Finally the K*Break Grille arrived and Nalley Collision fixed my front end. I got the whole car buffed after and am very please with the results.
Next on my list was my new wheels. It was a long tedious process and I'm proud of the final product. Just a little background I started off with 20x9/9.5 chrome Weds Kranze Bazreias that had 2.5" lips all the way around. I ended up with final sizes of 20x9.5/10, 2.5" lips in front and 3.5" lips in rear. I had the chrome stripped and powdercoated the faces white. Had the lips polished, hand polished all the bolts, bought new Kranze valve stems and center-caps in red, and then reassembled. I need to add the nagisas and rear arms to get my fitment to where I want but here's where I'm at now. Let me know your thoughts and feedback!
So I went ahead and installed all the Junction Produce Pieces And Here Are The Results!
My Nagisa Blocks Arrived
And Just A Picture I Took Today
Your car is coming along very nice and the wheel contrast looks great. Just curious, what rear view mirror is that? Is there a dashcam built in? I just noticed that it wasn't the original and had a mini screen on there.

Thank you!
Yeah it has a built in 1080p camera. I bought it off of Newegg. I can't remember the name brand but just go on Newegg and search for 1080p dash cam. There are plenty of options on there.
The rims look incredible! White faces look great with ur black car. You don't see that (especially with a LS) and I really like that. Who wants to look like every other LS430 out there? You gotta stand out a little!
Good job!
Just a thought......I wonder what it would look like with the windows of ur wheels painted black???
Might look nice......might not.
Maybe someone could edit the pic to give us a preview???

Here's an example of what I mean as far as where the black would be:
Also I wanted to tell you that your tables in the back look incredible!!!
How did you mount those?
I assume that you fastened them to the plate that covers the back of the seat??
Are they pretty sturdy??
Definitely a classy addition.

I went ahead and screwed them into the back panel and put washers on both sides so they are prety sturdy. Thanks!
As far as the black windows on the rims I actually prefer the all white. I typically don't like that drastic of a contrast in windows. Brushed faces with silver windows is something I would have considered.
Just a little update... I went ahead and did black headlight housings and projectors for the DRLs. I still need to rewire the DRL to run H1s and will get to that hopefully soon.
Want to give a thank you to Gio for posting up the DIY thread.
so nice and shiny. i need to do a detail on my car now haha. looks good man! i need that grill, but i dont wanna pay $600+ for it, i might just end up painting my stocks or leaving it alone haha
