No parking sensors in the bumpers?

ha ha.... all the design elements in the vehicle and you pick up that it doesn't have parking sensors. I'm sure this vehicle hardly ever parallel parks.

Beautiful car , love the black and white look. I have to say this though - to my old geezzer eyeballs the wheels are a little too big - over the top in terms of diameter, to me it would look cleaner and more elegant with slightly less oversize wheels...The asymmetry of the fenders coming down to hide the top part of the tires just looks unbalanced - but that's just me. But overall a very cool looking car - nice work!

I wonder whether:

- The car never had them
- The sensors were deleted with the bodywork
- The sensors are hidden.

I was also doing my best not to comment on the ugly decals.

Looks great! I love how the nicely the white and black contrasts on this car...i hated pin stripes on the side with a passion, but it works really well on here (in fact it would be worse without them). Not so sure about the stickers, but then again, I have fairly boring taste. Great job on modding!

This car is a show piece and not a grocery getter. That is why there are so many decals. I'm sure when this car becomes a daily driver or has a new owner the decals will be immediately peeled off. Imagine driving to the office in this with all those decals

I'd love to do the rear exhaust mod. Look like an Benz Amg end

Looks
I've noticed that the VIP rags have lots of cars with striping and black accents. For my tastes, this one is on that edge of being too much. For me, simple pieces, white door handles, mirrors and trunk lid spoiler. The owners tastes so overall...I likes.

Wheels look good on your car. I think that a nice headlight retrofit would complete the look of this LS430.

Love the car but not feeling the stickers on the front windshield. I think they are kind of played out by now but the special edition hawaii ones were really tight.

Do u have a close up of the hood design?

So what is ur fav mod u have thus far sine ur shiz is above and beyond most of ours in terms of mods.

Not my fav choice of rims for a stock ish ls 430 but it flows very nicely with ur body kit and pin stripe to me.
