Default Just picked up a 94 LS400

Just bought it from my friend's used car dealership. Car is in excellent condition with 88000 miles on it. No accidents, and interior is like new. Bought it for 7k out the door. Now it's time for the mods

Sounds like a great deal for that car. And you got the best color too! Have fun with modding it.

Thanks Guys! I just got done taking the tint off my car. It was a real simple process. All you really need is a steamer, steel wool (00 grade), a razor and detergent mixed with water.

Good choice on the LS pickup. Can't go wrong with the V8

Was the previous tint similar to the cheap kind found in Wal-mart? I actually like the un-tinted look on the LS

Actually the tint on the windows was pretty nice, but started turning purple already. I also like the un-tinted look, but with this huge California sun i'm going to have to tint it again soon

Are you concentrating on appearance or performance mods? Performance mods as far as adding horse power are virtually non-existent for the 1 UZ-FE engine series.

That looks like a very clean low-mileage LS. Nice buy!!

Not looking to do too much with the performance, but i'm looking to do some exterior mods as well as play around with the sound system. I already have an 99 LS400 (on my signature) for everyday driving, but this one will be kept in the garage for most of the time.

Here's a few pictures of some minor mods i've just added:

Clear bumper lights


Celsior Script

Default Next Step

Next thing i'm going to be doing is dropping my car. Waiting on some rims first though, I want to do it all at the same time:

I see your not wasting any time with your mods. Looking better already. Keep it up.

Also put some red and clear tails on the ride:


It's amazing how such little mods can make the car look so much nicer
