west's ucf20 build
 

ok so ive had this car for almost 2 months now and decided i should start a build thread.
its a black on black 96 ls400
i wish i had pics of it when i first got it, but i took it straight to my buddy to have it painted solid black. I was no a fan of the black and grey 2 tone, we still need to color sand and buff.

so heres some pics from the first day i got it back from paint, about a week after buying it

i couldnt stand driving around with the fishbowl look so the next day i went off and tinted the windows, that same day i installed a hid kit but i have no pics of them.

ive had my subs sitting aroudn the house but was too lazy to install them up until last wednesday. pulled out the stock 8 and swapped in my 2 15" boston subs. i wired it all up to the stock head unit. with the 8" sub out the hole made a perfect port it sounds great to me

had extra time at the shop so i dropped it another inch up front and maxed out the rears. also had my buddy roll the front fenders. soon im at cut my hole for the upper control arm and make the box

looks good

nice.. any plans to wetsand and buff the car for a mirror finish? :D

i sure do want to but ive been lagging on it hahaha:eek2:

Can't wait to get going on my project. Taking care of the basic stuff first. Timing belt, water pump, etc!!! I want to get my windows retinted. Want to go darker, and get the rear window tinted. Think the previous owner did 50% front, 35% rear.

I usually don't like the way stock LS400's look lowered on stock wheels. But your car makes it look good!
