Default 1999 LS400 build

What up folks. I'm rather new to the forum, Ive been on here awhile and had my car since this past November so i figured i would show some of the progress since then. This car is my daily and i have a 1992 Toyota MR2 turbo as my "toy".

Here is a couple shots ive been taking from the day i got her up until today

Since ive owned her, currently the mods list is short. But after i added the Megan coilovers i just went as low as i could on the stock wheels and added a pioneer double din

it took some research and trial and error to figure out the double din install. luckily the installer had done it on another LS so he knew the plugs didnt go to the back of the deck, but the amp under the seat
