Default 1st-gen LS400 remodelling courtesy of SUV: pics inside

It's been a fun ride with you all, but I am sad to report that the faithful UCF10 suffered a major remodelling thanks to a Ford Explorer that blew through a light and spun us around. No injuries, thankfully.

Here's what it looked like before the 'update':





Now here are the 'after' pictures:




Hit so hard, it crumpled the OPPOSITE side:




I'll likely be putting the Shallen LX's and possibly the billet grill up for sale in the near future--you can bet I'm going to give CL members first dibs on them.

Be safe out there, CLubbers.

AKXX out.

make sure you get checked out by a doctor, you're not as easy to fix as the car

Thank you for the well wishes.

No, not a hit and run...I cannot imagine what that would feel like.

Sorry to see such a nice car taken out like that. If you decide on selling the grill let me know.

Wheels are up in the classifieds. CL exclusive--I'm not going to list these anywhere else for a little while in order to give members first crack.

Click **HERE** for the sale link

Spoiler alert: there are some pics that are a departure from the overdone "My wheel lips are so fat I can put a whole $1 bill in there", etc. etc. Check 'em out.
