1thing I dislike (mod added title: I dislike the antenna)
I love my 96 LS400 but one thing that I hate is that long antena makes it look like a remote control car for some reason. Is there some sort of smaller antenna that goes well with the cars audio or maybe if possible a shark fin? p

Why Toyota put in a mast antenna in the LS is 
The 1980 Celica had a integrated windshield antenna then. 
Among other body work I want, that antenna opening would be welded up. I'm just not motivated to spend the $$ since it leads into body mods since the car would be in.
Thinking about my nit picking, I wish they gave the LS headlight projectors instead of the big lens reflectors. The SC's and GS's had them, right?

I'm not sure that JP "antenna" is functional. I think it is for looks. You could possibly find a wrecked 98-00 and swap out the rear window, which has an antenna built in.

Why do you have to knock R/C Cars? THIS one doesn't have a visible antenna! :P

I'm with you on the antenna. I opted to go with power antenna through the rear deck and had the hole welded and body filled then repainted (no more hole) and it is great now. I hated my CB radio type antenna also. That thing extended like 6 feet
