Update on my '92 LS...
Its been way overdue for an update on my car... since the last time Ive been on this forum, I have started and finished automotive studies at UTI and now have more time and money to work on my LS. There hasnt been any super crazy upgrades but nice touches have been done all around and the list goes like this: Temporary 17 inch wheels, Louis Vuitton interior, blue LED/neon interior (under dash/ air vents), wooden accents all around interior, LED conversion for EVERY SINGLE light bulb on the interior and outside, 6k HID head lights, clear front bumper turn signals, fiberglass eyelids, chrome/black grill, red tinted tail light turn signals, hood mascot, Tanabe df210 lowering springs (cut), red horns, side markers & chrome window pillars (not included in photos), 10" alpine type R's in the back with 4 speaker surrond alpine type R components on every door, 7 inch pop-out tv with a slim PS2 in the glove compartment, and thats all I can remember for now... this car has been a pleasure to have and drive with very little issues, I would never put so much money and time into an older car unless its an amazing car, and Lexus/Toyotas are just that! Anyways here are pics of when I first bought her to refresh memories until what it is today. PS: BLACK/GREY paint coming next WEEK! I sure cant wait to have this car looking fresh!
More to come as soon car gets painted, more lowering and more wheel coming soon!

Thank you guys, ughhhh it would be a miracle if I found out who sold it to me again. I remember it took me weeks to find a leather like/ non fabric LV vinyl with the correct print and texture. I think it was about 200 dollars worth of fabric that I bought... but luckily for you guys I found the seller/website again. I remember it was a bit of a hassle to get the payment thru the website, so i emailed them directly and placed my order then sent payment over pay-pal. This website has everything with GREAT quality... Ive had this LV vinyl installed for almost 2 years and still looks new, no tears, rips or any fading on the material. The website has almost every brand name/color vinyl, this is the EXACT material I ordered. ENJOY! http://www.fabric4home.com/Louis-Vui...brown-p48.html

I like the interior job, did you install it yourself or get somebody to do it for you ? I also like the Junction Produce hood ornament 
haha sweeet!
I laughed pretty hard at the "4 doors more *****s" sticker I've never seen that before
Awesome ride bro!

Thanks for the compliments a criticism. Yes I know the eye lids are a little thick, I am about to remove them and sand them down a bit thinner and also make them skinnier. Yes the interior I did myself it turned out ok for my first interior job but the OEM foam that comes behind the stock leather (which I re used for the LV vinyl) comes with too many cuts and "waves" in the foam which turns out to a more than less perfect insert but good none of the less. I will be removing the brown inserts and redoing them over again with black gucci or black/grey LV monogram squares to go more with the new black/silver 2 tone paint job that will be started next week. And yes that decal gets quite some comments!

UPDATES:Car was sent to paint shop on wednseday to recieve black/grey paint job. Luckily found a set of 93-94 side rockers and door panels in great condition to replace the ugly rubber panels, and picked up aswell an E-series MB hood grill/air vent that I will have the paint shop work their magic and mold into the hood... I havent seen anyone do this to an LS, unfortunately I did not measure the size of the "bump" in the center of the hood to check for clearance in the vents but Im sure they might fit. Can someone with a 1st gen please measure the size of that center bump? ILike I said cars at shop so too late to measure but I hope to clear those 37 1/2" inches I need for those air vents to get molded to the hood... Anyways Pictures!!!!
Gucci has also been ordered to re-do interior... finally coming all together!
