Default Jayntee's 1996 LS400 Build

Finally picked up a ls400 for a little project. Not the cleanest out there, but with a little bit of TLC, i'm hoping it could be something i am proud of.

As of 10/03/12


plans so far are to remove the paint from the trim to make it chrome again, coilovers, wheels, and red/clear LED taillights. Stay tuned!

btw, if anyone has a front and rear bumper for sale around the san jose area please let me know

the rears are lowered all the way. the front, i still have a lot of room left, but could not put it all the way down because the upper control arm hits the shock tower. I do have the extreme drop kit
