Default New Mods for the Celsior

I just recently cleared my corner and bumper lenses. Also 20% all around VIP tint
I also made my tailights all red. I think it looks good, let me know.

I like the front end. The all red rear, mmm I dont know. I truly appriciate the work it took and it does look cool just I like the 04 look better. The rear light do look better than stock, but for me the 04 look would have been my choice.

What did it take time and cost wise to change out the front covers to clear, I liked it!!

Hey do you have any interior shots????

Hey I just read in you signature you changed the sub and added a amp. I have been wondering how that would sound. I love my stereo and for everyday music the bass if just fine. But if I really want to crank the bass just can't keep up at the higher volumes.

Did you upgrade fix that? Please tell more.....

Very nice and clean. Red tails give sort of MercBenz look IMHO.

I removed the factory subwoofer altogether. I now use the hole where the factory woofer was as a port for the bass that comes from the box. The factory door speakers are fine as long as you don't turn the bass all the way up with the volume past half. The distortion your getting in your factory system at high volumes is comming from the sub not the door speakers.
Overall the sound is very clear and the bass is heavy and the best part is, I didn't even have to change the factory radio.

Thanks for the kind words everyone but I still got alot of work to do.
Grand_LS4: I made the corner lenses clear myself which took forever and a day and the bumper lenses are for a 98+ GS 300-400 which was a direct fit.
the lighting is all white except for my headlights which are HID. It looks nice when all the lights are on with the hazzards on.
(thats me behind TLW at HIN)

agree with horta, the 04 tail looks much better. its your ride though and if you like it then thats cool. no opinion on the fronts.

Normal red/white tails look much better on bright coloured cars (white/silver) because white strip of the rear lights is too wide to look really good on dark car IMHO. But diamond clear rear lights look just fabulous not doubt. Exactly like on 04 model. Make LS look a little like grown up ES

nice clean ls, i like the stock lights in the back more though compared to painting it. i think u should look into doing the q45 mod for your car, i think it will look hot especially with the lights on

Everyone is refering to those 04 tailights but they don't fit my car and no one makes the red and white tailights for the 98-00 models. This model has a crystal design unlike every other model LS before 98.
