*d2-autosport Project Celsior Debut*
Hey guys,
I know its been a while since the teaser shot of the Celsior but we finally got a shoot together for our first project vehicle of 2005. Since the GS was already addressed, we really wanted to give the flagship Lexus our signature (or stamp of approval!).
The vehicle is very very pedestrian in stock form, but the overall finished product is quite nice (IMO). When in motion the car has a very aggressive and "massive" look to it.
The vehicle is owned by CL Member kidcapp and all parts (except ICE) are courtesy of D2-AUTOSPORT.
I will post the full "writeup" when its drafted / edited. In the meantime................
Here are the specs:
2004 LEXUS LS430
WHEELS / TIRES:
WORK Equip ,
3PC, FORGED CONTSTRUCTION
20x8.5 / 20x10, CHROME CENTER / POLISHED + CLEARCOATED LIP, CUSTOM FITTED WORK ITS centercaps.
TOYO T1-S TIRES
245/35-20 FR
275/30-20 RR
AERODYNAMIC
WALD FULL AERO KIT (FRONT, SIDES, REAR, DECKLID SPOILER)
SUSPENSION / BRAKES
TEIN CS COILOVER SUSPENSION
BRADI CROSS DRILLED / SLOTTED ROTORS, CUSTOM "LEXUS" CALIPER DECALS
AXXIS DELUXE BRAKEPADS
MISC
WINDOW TINT - 5% SIDE , 20% FRONT AND REAR WINDOW (V.I.P. TINT! lol)
CUSTOM EXHAUST FINISHERS
FULL CUSTOM I.C.E INSTALL(H.U, IPOD, DVD NAV, SUBS, ETC)
AND ON TO THE PICS (I threw in a couple with the GS as well)

The offsets on these wheels are custom and alot more aggressive than you think, its just all integrated properly (lowering etc). Also NO fender mods
I'm a lip fan myself but this car just really really flows in person, its aggressive stance and aero just provide the perfect backdrop for the wheels!
