Default Dat intro and build thread

Hello everyone, my name is Dat, I've been on this board for a while now but never introduce myself. I was in the market for a GS after I sold my IS, but ended up with the LS and I have loved every minute of it so far, now that the weather is getting a little warmer it's time to start modding the LS. Here's a stock picture of it when I first brought it home.

Im anxious you have unique tastes which could possibly result in a stunning LS! I like the IS it screams BOLD (not a bad thing)

I would drive that IS all day and every day. I love the boldness of it, plus I love the black and yellow combo. I just don't think the LS would be as nice if it was bold like that. I'm sure that you will do something nice with it. Good luck!

Thanks, the IS is more of a sportier car so I was able to go crazy with it, but you're right the LS would not look nice if it was too bold, so I think I'm going with a more conservative route with this car.

So after a week and a half, I finally got my car back... I had a bad experience with the place that did the install, thus why it took so long. Sorry for the crappy iPhone pic.
