Default First pics to start the long journey!!!

Well guys, I have been coming to the site for awhile now, mainly to drool over all the beautiful rides that everyone has , So I thought maybe I would offer mine up as a starting point towards enhancing a car that each and everytime I turn the key over it brings a smile to my face. I truely enjoy both of my Lexus', however the LS is more me. My wife can't wait to sell her Civic and get a 2nd gen LS, after driving mine. So I took some pics the other day after cleaning it. Thanks for looking.

tell me about it, I have a set of LD1's that need curb rash worked out of them. I had them on for a short time, but the rims having damage took away from the overall look, so they are off untill i find someone I trust to clean up the edges. I just ordered my Bumper lights from luxuymods, can't wait to get them. I got a medim JP Fusa and a small table for B-day, the other day, so those will be going in this weekend when the lights arrive. Next it will be tint, and a drop. Im thinking Tanabes for now.

I am trying to give it very clean look, almost as if someone were think it could have come from Lexus that way. Well that is the goal anyways. I do want the red/clear tails, but those will have to wait. I have thought about just putting LS430 Chrome wheels on as well. I am planning to go with the most subtle lip kit I can find. The drop I am hoping for is to enhance the look and the feel. There are alot of awesome cars, with all kinds of kits on them, like the white one from Houston, that has a ton of work done to it. I truely love that car, however I just do not see myself in something like that. My friends all laugh at me for trying to build a car that looks like it could have been built from the manufacturor, rather than built by me. Take for example, my LS did not have the cell accessory in it, when I bought it, so I found the OEM kit part number(s) that I needed and just started cold calling dealers to find to find one that may have had it laying around and didn't know what to do with it. The search came up ended handed, however I didf ind the entire kit in one that a local junkyard got in. Bought it, which the guy at the yard, was like "you know that ain't going to work, when you put it in, right?" I just smiled and said I know its for looks. Anyways thats the goal for the LS. Thanks guys

Thanks everyone, I have seen the red/clears for for between $150-$200 mark, I am still working out a few little bugs. I wanted to make it as perfect as possible, I hate having little annoying issues.

Nice LS bud.

By the looks of that civic, I think you know how to treat a ride of yours...and I HATE civics, but that one looks pretty good.
