introduction - LXU55
Hey folks, an Aussie here sayin "G'day"
Just purchased a '91 LS400 - lowered, 18" rims, 5% tint and cat-back exhaust.
I luv it ... and just dropped it off today to get the seats re-done with new leather as the existing ones were cracked and hard.
A couple of questions if y'all don't mind
a) clear front indicators - anywhere here in Australia that can provide me with these lovely items?! I've had a look on a japanese auction site, is that the easiest way?
b) red/clear taillights - again, anywhere in Australia?!
c) rear badges - i would like to remove the 'lexus' but have noticed it has pins. do i have to weld the holes or will simply bogging the tiny holes work?
I've only had the car for two days and am in luv with it. Here's some pics that the last owner took, I'll get some new ones up soon:
thanx for your help!

Hey Welcome to the club and Congratulations to the new cool buy. The color looks to be a custom job, very nice. I would love to see more pics especially the interior when its done. I had a '91 so I still love those.
Also I just sent you a PM.

I can get you set from Japan because I will be there soon on my way back to Australia but it may be the most expensive option.
PS:
What state are you in ?
