Pics of Lsportline kit and LS430 18's on my 98 LS400
The LS is my 'rain car' and I'd sworn to keeping it bone stock until Steve Ganz had a blowout sale on L-Sportline goodies af few months ago. I couldn't pass up the smoking deal on the L-sportline kit, exhaust nad lowering springs/shocks (the stuff is gone and sale is over before anyone asks). I also got the L-sportline rear spoiler but decided not to put it on (too tall for my taste). I had the paint shop do the bottom cladding of the car the same as the top to remove the factory two-tone (now all one color).
I knew the Lsportline kit would swallow up the OEM LS wheels, so I bought a set of LS430 18" Sport wheels in chrome off of ebay (OEM ones sent through chrome process). I tried to find a set of non-chrome but couldn't find any at a reasonable price after about a month of looking.
Finally all the pieces are on and I took a few quick pics to share. Sorry that the car is pretty dirty, but I know I won't have time to wash it before I fly out of town tomorrow.
I still think I'd prefer the non-chrome wheels, but overall pleased with the end-result. Car seems visibily bulkier in a boxy, kind of threatening manner in person that just doesn't show up with pics.

Dave, the LS looks very VIP-ish, and the kit certainly suits well for your daily driver. Congrats on getting it all together with the help of your body shop and Steve Ganz

Thanks everybody, its coming together! Got a couple of thumbs up just driving on the road today. Never happened in the LS before.
Lol, not quite that old (its a 98) but did click over 90,000 miles last month. And it lives outdoors (we only have a two car garage and my GS and my gf's 911 live inside.

Also (if you make it down or not) - get yourself signed up for the meet in August in Baltimore at the Team Lexus facility. Check out my sig or www.lexfest.net for registration. It's August 19 for arrivals for folks from further way / meet & greet, August 20 (Saturday) for the main meet and August 21 for some other meet events (TBD, still lining them up) and wrap up.
I'll have both the GS and the LS there (going to get my GF to drive the LS up). So far I've got the only LS signed up
