First you have skills with PS sir, now pic # 2 and I see you added the Wald grille as well. Far as the finding a shop you may have to go out state maybe CIC Auto out TX can help. Yottabyte had some work done by them here is the post https://www.clublexus.com/forums/7861493-post95.html

Also Brian may know a shop that could pull it off or a member here could chime in.

haha thanks Tee. The Wald grill was already in the Black Pearl kit. I didn't change it so I'm not sure if it's Wald or if it's actually BP.

As for body work - I'm in Canada. That might explain it all... lol

Black Pearl uses Wald grill.

If you want a one off kit for your LS, PM me.

pic #1... the fogs in that pic look cleaner. the 460S will definitely put Smart Car and Fiat Abarth out of business.

OK a quick, small update - friends came back from Hong Kong and brought me back two (fake) Louis Vuitton graphite damier belts so that I could strap the air tank down. I decided on doing this when we were installing the air suspension, but they just got back a few weeks ago so they've been held down with temporary H&M belts in the mean time.

Full write up here for anyone interested: http://www.lifewithjson.com


Came with gold buckles. They're supposed to be matte black.


The buckle.




Funny - both buckles are made of two different materials. Copper and stainless steel. This was after sanding.


After the paint.


Mounted back up to the leather


Posted beside the real one. Can you guys guess which one is the real one?


old straps


Replaced


The other side


Full shot


Cut off the extra
