ya it was barley noticeable in the pic - im just aware its a common problem with fender modding the LS
so what tire size are you running up front?
the wheels i pictured are 18x9.5+12 which i will be running all the way around with a 225/40
i am hoping i dont have to pull since im already running -4 camber all the way around

I have 225/35/18, but I'm on air so I don't really have to worry about them looking small lol


Another picture I found for the sake of not getting offtrack.

Here's a wild question for all you tail light retrofit junkies:

How feasible is it to set up something like this for the LS?




Basically, clear lens (LED) tail lights. Not like the clear lenses some of you guys are running since, well, they look like the regular tail lights, sans color I don't really care too much for the acrylic panels, but is a custom lens too extreme to fabricate?

Also, to keep things on topic, here's a picture of my car, at night

anything's feasible if your wallet's thick enough.

but you'll get a ticket in california at least, big no-no to have no red reflectors on the back of your car. safety issue for when the car is parked at night.

Completely feasible, it has been done many times, but the average cost is around $1500+ and going up towards $3k not including shipping/brokerage fees.

There are quite a few LED magazines in Japan nowadays to show how to do them. Take a look around, you just build a light board, install leds/resistors and run a controller....obviously easier said than done.

Well, I've sort of figured out the whole LED route, but I'm more concerned with the custom-ish lens. The housing could just be a stripped out spare set.
