WOW. I was skeptical about how the wheels would look paired up with the LS, but holy moly that looks so nice. Stop tempting me to spend $$$ =(

I don't know how you did (pulling off those wheels) - Car looks absolutely Stunning - Still Subtle, yet so classy! Even the Calipers are amazing!

The LS looks very sick. I'm feeling all the chrome accents you did to your LS. I would have never given the wheels a second look but it comes together well in your pictures. I'm loving it....

GATO, very nice. Everything you've done works in harmony and is very elegant. I have an 04 UL but am too conservative to try something like that (engineers aren't always too artistic).

I'd like to see a better photo of the engine cover if you have one.

Well done (from an Okie to a Texan).
