Default Photoshoot with my '92 LS400

All pictures were taken by me. Camera is a Canon Rebel XT with the stock 18-55mm lens. All pics were touched-up a bit in photoshop, but nothing serious. I hope you guys like, I still can't believe I got this car for $2,000!

Are you air-ride equipped? It looks like you're 4x4'ing.

On another note...IT'S CLEAN!!!

Beautiful car.

Haha, nah. The car has KYB GR2's on it, it isn't equipped with the electronic suspension. Stock springs, obviously. I'd like to lower it at some point, we'll see. Thanks for the nice comments!

::Tries to remember if mine looked like that with stock wheels as well...::

Do all stock height LS400's with stock wheels look that high? I really dont remember it being that tall...I hope...Thank god I got 19's in that case.

Your paint looks very clean though.

I haven't been paying enough attention to the others I see on the road, but this car sure body-rolls like a ****! Haha. The paint is in very good shape, the car has been garaged its whole life, so the California sun hasn't had a chance to get the best of it. Hehe. Thanks again!

looks nice, you may wanna try taking some shots at different exposure settings (+/- 3clicks at .5click intervals) and making some HDR shots with the rebel

any planned mods?

Yeah, I try to experiment with different exposures whenever I can. I don't know enough about HDR yet to start playing with it, I don't even know where to start, haha. I normally just shoot in Manual Exposure mode, and use the light meter to tell me where to set the shutter speed.

As far as mods, I don't know for sure yet. I'd like to mod it a little bit. It could definitely use some lowering springs and some different wheels/tires. I may build a custom exhaust for it, and maybe a custom intake pipe or something. Nothing too major though, this is my daily driver. I already have my Eclipse for the money pit--and what a money pit it is! Haha.

Look out fellas'. He not gonna mod it too much but took like a million pics already, LOL!! I think we hooked yet another one. Car looks really nice and clean. Looks like you got a good buy for the money. As far as the stock height,, yeah they all sit that high at stock height and so it does look like you have some 4wd action going on there, but we are sure that you will remedy this quickly. Body roll,, this car is extremely heavy so you gonna get that. It does improve a little with lower height. Enjoy and nice buy!!1

Haha. I don't wanna put a foot in my mouth here, but I definitely don't plan on modding this car a lot. I definitely can't afford to become a Lexus junkie. I took a million pics because i'm psychotic about photography, lol. We'll see, if I win the lotto I'd do a lot of stuff to this car. Hehe.

I would agree. I haven't seen many LS's with bad paint. It's just a well-built car in general.
