Default 2JZNSHT LS430 Build Thread

Hey CL friends well I stepped up my game a bit and bought a 03 LS430 with 106k on it in Mercury Silver with Black Interior. I was originally driving a 99 GS300 and a 02 GS300 but wanted something a little better in terms of luxury for a daily. Here some pics below from when I bought it about a month ago.

Here's after picking it up yesterday with brand new tint. 32% front window and 8% on all the sides and back, and 5% on the sunroof

Also installed a double din with Apple CarPlay using the BeatSonic MVA-23L kit. If I would of done it again I would of paid a little more and got the wood grain one over the grey even though it matches perfectly.

Looks good. Did you tint the windshield as well or it just looks that dark because of the other windows?

install wasn't too bad, having the features of Apple Car Play and everything is so awesome. The kit is kinda of expensive at $350+ dollars, but totally worth the look, doesn't look cheap at all. I would recommend the wood grain one though.

Did you just buy the install kit from Beatsonic USA? I am intrigued by this but it looks like they don't have the darker wood that I have. I would like for it to look like this.
Same wood style as mine. Makes it look really nice together.

oh yeah I didn't see that option for that color wood trim. when I originally ordered from beat sonic the wood trim one was out of stock. The standard gray one matches the finish on the oem nav/ac controls so it still looks good
