Default The Latest Pics of my LS400 project

Hi everyone, here are some pics of my LS 400 that I purchased a few months back. So far I have replaced sway bar bushings, spark wires, spark plugs, cleaned throttle body, K&N Air Filter, Silvia Silver headlights, window and taillight tints, new wheels and rims, constructed a custom trunk mat (due to the absence of one at purchase), fiberglass repair on bumper, resonator delete and a few other little things. Anyway she is running great and I think looking pretty spiffy!!!

Yes that is a ding on the front passenger side fender, dammit!!!

Forgot to say your tail lights look good also - I guess you tinted them?

clean car

only thing it needs is an A/S controller (Prahjec might have his old one ) and to put the tails back to stock not a fan of completely tinted tails on the LS.

i take it the resonator was deleted AFTER u took these pictures

Thanks guys! Yeah I would LOVE to lower it, even just by an inch!! But those air controllers aren't cheap! If anyone knows of one for a good price let me know!
Yeah I tinted the taillights myself.Some people are not big fans but I like it. I did it before I realised how nice the red/clear taillights are, but I am happy with my choice. I replaced the PCV valve and grommet today, man they get dirty!! I am also going to paint the calipers red after I replece the brake fluid and put new pads on. It has a big caliper brake kit on it so why not make them shiny, haha! Those calipers made it hard for me to find wheels though! I ordered a chrome grill kit too so I am looking forward to that!

sounds good, only thing im not fond of at all are those cheap "chrome" grill kits offa fleabay.

personally i think ur better off painting ur grill gloss or flat black to match the car.

Actually I like the taillights. I was thinking of doing it to mine since I want a stealthy look.

If you think the air controllers are expensive, consider how much people are willing to pay to get what you have! AirRunner kits cost about $4500+, and thats without installation. I personally woudl LOVE an air ride. Plenty of comfort, decent enough handling (comfort being my priority), and the ability to SLAM the car and look... sexy.

Your air controller shouldn't run you more than $600, and I think you might be able to find one used.

Go to www.memoryfab.com, and put in a request. See what they can do for you to find a used one.

Yeah I may splurge and get the air runner, I REALLY want to drop her. However the next thing I will do I think is get new mufflers and exhaust tips. I have already deleted the resonators but want more, haha! Thanks for all the comments guys!
