Well I figured I would just make a dedicated thread to the creation of my LS... I picked the car up yesterday. It's a 1997 LS400 Coach edition. Here are some pictures, haven't had a chance to detail it up (plus its like 107 degrees outside) but here are the pictures.
Here is a quote from my post when I got home.

It has begun. I bought a JVC double din touchscreen headunit, amp wiring kit, dash kit, and some new hood struts, talking to a guy in town selling a kicker L7 in a kicker box for cheap, may pick that up as well. If I sell this truck that this guy gave me + cash for my infiniti, I'll pick up suspension and wheels too.. got a couple people coming to look at it right now...

...Does your car have factory nakamichi system? are you planning on replacing the factory speakers or just the deck?? I'm thinking about getting a double din as well mine has the nakamichi system so i heard it was harder to be done also what dash kit did you use??

Doesn't have the Nakamichi, thankfully. I'm not planning on replacing the speakers, they all actually sound pretty good right now. Could be another story once the new headunit it is. If so, here comes memphis audio stuff...

Anyone know what kind of bulbs the climate control in this thing uses? Got a couple out, going to go ahead and switch them to white LEDs
