Smile Kira's Car Crew Picture Thread

This thread will be my ongoing picture thread for my LS. I usually don't post pics of my cars online but one of my friend's suggested I make a thread.

I'll update the thread with new pics every week. Me and my crew typically get together once or twice a week.

More pics! Many were taken from my Galaxy Note II and my friend's iPhone. We do use an SLR as well but the RAW files are massive.

These pics were shot/edited by my friend Azzad. He's a master when it comes to taking pics on an iPhone.

Let me know what you guys think. I'll eventually get the higher quality pics uploaded. If you have any questions about my LS or SC let me know.

Very nice picture spread. I love the sc and the ls. Very clean and well done looking. I need to get some pics up once my pillars and tint are done.

your car is gorgeous kira , your friends s420 is looking nice as well , I always liked those but was warned by my mechanic the are too hard to maintain.

Hey by any chance do you know how large in diameter your exhaust tips are? They are a good size.

I just ordered a set of 3 inch magnaflow tips and I think now they might be too small

Thanks

wow, really nice- LS stands out the SC is sweet too. You have a aftermarket exhaust? really like those wheels too, i thought only VIP style(dish) wheels suit the LS.
also liking the blue color calipers looks sharp.

Thanks man! I appreciate it. I guess my LS isn't bad for a stock body car.

My friend got the S420 last year with low miles on it and hasn't had much trouble with it other than a small oil and power steering leak. It's very clean for a 98 and it ride so smooth. I would love to find a nice S320, S420, or 400SEL for a daily driver.

My tips are 4.5 inch Borla stainless steel tips. They're a decent size. I would look to have 5 inch tips though. 3 inches will be kind of small. Since you have big wheels I would recommend 4.5 or 5 inch tips.

Thank you! Yeah, it's a custom exhaust. It's a 2.25 inch Magnaflow X-Pipe with 4.5 Borla tips. It's straight pipe from the main cats back and it literally sounds like a Corvette or Camaro.

I really like the wheels too. As soon as I saw them I knew I had to put them on an LS430. It's a nice mix of sport and luxury. The blue calipers came out good considering I used $6 caliper paint from O' Reileys.
