Default Gato LS430 pics* OZ Futura Vlusty Jewel

Well, its been a long time coming.....



Before anything, big ups and Props to my Homie Jun (JUNJDM) for all his hard work helping me

put this baby together.....LONG nites messing with fenders,kits you name it



as many of you remember, I had my 05 UL totaled which was a set back.......



Now I present you my 2004 LS430 UL black on black



-Vlusty Jewel aero 5 piece ( Thanks to Sean at JDM PPalace)

-OZ Futura 3 piece forged steplip in 20 inch (Thanks to Felgen-Garage.de) (story to come on that)

-Chrome door handles

-Custom grille

-Data controller

-Garson shifter

-Jobdesign tips

-Green 35% Tint

-Hid kit on fogs

-Data controller

-Chromed engine cover (Jun you have pic of engine cover?)

-Chromed 4 piston oem caliper

................................................................................................

as for the wheels......

when I made the decision for a set of 20's for the LS..........there was a few characteristics
the wheels had to have....

had to be a five star, 3 piece, had to have rivets and step lips were a must....

try putting that combination together in 20 inch and you are limited to amount of wheels out there

the search went on for many months......and finally paid off......took three months to have them assembled cause i switched centers, lips, barrels.....ect..

all the professional hard work goes out to Clau with www.Felgen-garage.de

yes, UPS dropped one of them


...................................................................................................






.................................................................................................
the original 4 piston calipers were taken to a machine shop for aeshetic look on gold bolts

then chromed out.

I like the chrome brake calipers. Saw them on another post recently and they look really nice. How much did it cost to get that done?
