The Official 01-03 to 04-06 Conversion Facelift and Rear Pics Inside

[junjdm]

Finally I get around to doin this. Been wanting to post pics up for awhile. I did the conversion pics and everything! BIG Thanks to GATO and vietdeluxx for the help...also my dad was there to participate a bit. Using his shop as well....Anyways its been a long journey....., I know the LS430 thread needed some new hype...... Enjoy

Oh.....and here to confirm the parts needed:

Front:
Hood (also the grille that comes w/ it)
Fenders
Headlights
Front Bumper (w/ fogs)
Headlight Support from 04-06

Rear:
Trunk (trunk bar if it didn't come w/ it)(emblems which I believe are a little diff)
All 4 piece tailights
***and you really don't need the rear bumper*** But it looks better IMO, but of course in my pics I skipped it and got a kit...

Let the pics begin:

Car. Looks crazy I'm wondering how did u get the taillights to work and is the wiring hard to do?

I posted a thread before I found this one. Where did you get the tails and do you need to do any wiring changes or are they a straight swap?

i got the taillights for a good deal, but i've seen some for sale on ebay. as far as the wiring it's not easy at all.....I got them to light up and work normal no problem.....the wires colors match up. My concern was the tail lamp code it kept pulling on the dash due to the amount of ohms it was sensing from the new LED's.....ppl say you can take it to an electronic/stereo place for them to add the right amount of ohm so the computer doesn't detect any issues. I on the other hand had an 04-06 ecu....which i just plugged in and used that. That solved all my problems. Hope that helped.....

Yeah, that helped. I appreciate the answer. I love your car my man! I am debating on selling my Tib and parting all the stuff out to dump into the LS. I just find my self wanting to go VIP and be hellaflush instead of hellaharsh track car like the Tib is set up.

Awesome, congrats on the new mods, I like the front bumper, it reminds me of Aimgain alittle. What's next?
