Tons of stuff...well not "tons" but the LS does have a variety of goodies. If you are near a major city S.F, LA, Orange County, San Diego...find a Japanese book store like Kinokuniya and have a go through the car mags. The one with the big sedans like the LS and GS is VIP Car, will cost cost you about $8.
If you are in the So. Cal area, check the Pacific section for the So. Cal BBQ meet on April 18.
The rest can be searched for on this site including the suspension, engine sections.

As Mike said, there are plenty of mods for the '98-'00 LS400...including clear tails and clear corners/parking lights. Don't bother going to Kinokuniya in Jtown (LA)...I was there this past wednesday and they didn't have any VIP mags on the shelves or in stock....apparently, someone had already reserved 2 copies of VIPcar or VIP style so they weren't allowed to put them on the shelves.

Br1an,
A buddy of mine has Hobby Japan reserved for each issue. I wonder if Kinokuniya would do a subscription for you that way? I was bummed when the bookstore in Mitsuwa LA closed...I always got mine there. Now I go to Kinokuniya down in Orange County on Harbor...however, they wrap them up so you can't look at them first.
Oh, and nnnickkk while at the book store, look for Hyper Rev's, Vol 36 Celsior. All kinds of eye candy to be seen...although a bit dated. It is a must have for a Celsior enthusiast.

Yes. When they changed it to Mitsuwa, it really messed me up...I still call it by the old name. Sheesh.
