Lei_z's Build Thread
 

I had my heart set on an LS 460 late 2010 so i decided to sell my 08 Acura TL Type-S and in March of 2011 i sold it. One year later i finally bought an 08 Obsidian Black LS 460 with 24k miles. The first thing i always do to all my cars is get it tinted since the Hawaii sun is brutal on leather and since the car was being shipped from Chicago to Hawaii i had more than enough time to buy led's, hid's for the fogs and 6k bulbs for the headlights. Wheels will be ordered once i know clearance :D

Day i picked up the car

Looks good man ....... Which island do you stay on?

looks like you got some goodies to throw on the ride. When you get those wheels on I have a feeling you are going to be looking pretty good. What wheels are you going with. SomethignJDM?? I know the Islands tend to run more of a JDM style

Thanks. I stay on oahu.

I plan to go with Weds Kranze Vishunu

Congrats on your sweet ride! It's great to see another LS460 member in the 808. I can't wait to see the rest of your mods. The only mods i have is a few leds and 20% tint. I've been a member here since my 03 ES, but I haven't been to a Saturday meet. The CL HI bunch seems to be a pretty cool group. See you around!

Oh $chit this is gonna be hottt..the wheels look great

Congrats, looking forward your build and welcome to club LS!

Welcome, you're off to a great start, I love those wheels you're considering. What bags will you be using with your kit?

wow nice start to a great looking build

WOW!! That pic you posted looks amazing. Watch out when driving those Hawaiian roads with those very pricey wheels.

Right on brah - I lived out there for awhile (not military haha). Your cara gonna look mean out there.

Off to the great start. Lots of guys going full air.

Where did you order your interior lights from? I want to do the same?

I have yet to meet up with the CL HI guys. I did do a few car shows with my TL with a few of them and they are all cool guys. Ill have to go to one of the meets soon though.

Thank you. Thanks for all the great information you have provided :thumbup:

Thank you. I hope i can contribute valueable information to this forum.

My previous car had the standard air runners. The product is great but with air there is a sweet spot. If you do not hit that sweet spot the ride becomes very bad with it being to bouncy because of to much air and to stiff with not enough air. So i decide to buy the on the ground serious from air runner, that way i can still roll low but be in the sweet spot. The major difference is this kit is a coilover with air bag setup. I want the LS to still ride like a luxury car but once wheels go on that will make the ride even that much more harsh.

Thanks. Cant wait to see the bbk on and new mods you have in store :)

Lol yeah we just learn to take the long way to our destination.

Solid. Where did you live?

I ordered all the lights from v-led. I wanted all the lights to have the same color consistency. ill give a break down of what light i ordered to where it goes when i get home.

whoa, you're going AR OTG? ballinnnnnnnnn
