Dang, that's hot. Your car is shaping up real good and I'm chasing you down quickly LOL!!!!. check my car under opinion. I think your next step should be to bag it and then new rims if you want. You rims arestill good enough to pull off that VIP look until you decide to change and get newer rims. PM me with location of where you bought your emblem, have been looking for one.

Hood ornament with the front L badge looks completely off. You need to remove one of them before you move on. (but I think you're addressing this with a new grill? remove the hood ornament first then)

Please address the rims and the suspension at the same time (if you must choose one, suspension) But those rims gotta go.

After you complete those 3 things, your car will look that much hotter.

1) New Rims > LDR style full face design "VIP" not a "Race" design

2) Suspension > No more than a 2" tire to fender gap

3) Chrome grill w/o a Lexus badge

4) All of the above = VIP status

Diggin' the plates by the way! Enjoy modding!

all of the above + something on the car from junction produce to make that badge worth having.

I agree with the L emblem comment, I actually do have a new grill figured out and the hood ornament is stuck on with a peice of scotch tape (test fit ) i just got excited

now to explain myself:
I want the grill mod that the moderator brian has, it looks fantastic and im on my way to getting one.. I want to bag it (dont ask me why) too many people have coilovers and i want to control my ride height at a whim.. Im not really interested in performance... then come the rims.. is it even possible to have a bagged car with deep dish rims? theres only so much room in those fenders..

thanks for the opinions and contructive criticism.. maybe when i get outta college my next project will be a newer ls

How far are you supposed to put those mascots on the hood? It seems a little far away to me...
