Thanks
I actually have 2 Ls's R'now
Ive got an original owner 1990..cloth interior, no sunroof. I drive it a couple times per week to run errands, carry parts,etc. Ive owned this car for years. Its the most dependable thing in the world.

I had a 93 LS (repainted black) that I sold last year. Had it on a few rims and finally Leon 19's, Custom Air suspension,stereo,etc...
Also had an 2002 LS430 that I sold to a guy I met at a gas station the day prior. It was on 19" Amistads,etc,etc I owned that car for under 2 months. He made a deal I wouldve been stupid to refuse. Met at his bank and turned over the key

I put my old GS stocks on it and painted the calipers with sum stuff I had left over. I wouldve done them in black but silver was all I had in the garage.

.....Seriously debating on painting the entire car Black

Guess this is going to be my "Build thread" too


Up next are wheels and FALKEN tires


I have other projects, so I dont want to spend too much time/money on this LS

Soooooo, I'm not going to buy new wheels, because I've got a few here to select from.

My first thought was to go with the TrafficStars but the brakes on these things are sooo sexay that I think I'll do the open 5 spoke and paint them another color.





Next up...Suspension

Mesh wheels going on the 96... I think im gonna put the 5stars on the LS430 -UL I picked up last night.

Was taking my niece school shopping and noticed a silver one with black interior. Same lot I recently bought a 7series BMW from, so they told me to take it for a spin and finish school shopping...
The interior totally got me! power rear seats, massage,AD...even a Fridge in the back

an hour or so later, I was talked into buying it by an 10yr old. Im such a sucker for lil kids n cars



anyways, I'll be lowering the LS400 this weekend and rolling the fenders
