yottabyte's LS460L Build Thread
You dont need them but they do help to know if you are riding to high or low when the accuair self leveling hasnt made adjustments. I just like to know whats going on with my tank pressure as well as each strut.
I bought the 2010 IS side mirrors from Ebay just for the outer shell and signal light only. Then I used a dremel to grind the existing mirror frame so that the IS cover will fit around the existing mirror frame. Let me know if you need more info. I may have some pics when I was working on this project.
to get a good deal, try to find a 2010 or above IS side mirrors that have been damaged but the outer shell and signal lights are still good.

Thanks for the pictures and the link to wiring them up. Very informative. Question, looks like you cut quite a bit from the original mirror frame. Does the new cover use the same mounting holes?
Powder coated calipers look great I like the matte finish better than painted high gloss although that's nice as well. You stated the rotors are OEM, What do those run and where can I pick some up.
Again great job so far man

I think only one out of three uses the same mounting holes. But I was able to used three or four screws to hold the cover in place.
I got the "Premium Dimpled and Slotted Brake Rotors " from http://brakeperformance.com but I used AutoZone's "Duralast Gold Cmax/Brake Pads". They are ceramic brake pads with rubber shim layer. Four rotors cost me around $400.

Adding to the existing oem pieces....Thats pure genius..wow, what a great idea!!!! But I have to admit the front bumper especially still looks normal to me..maybe this mod is so subtle I am not noticing it because with the car dumped so low it's throwing me off...or maybe April Fools or something lol.

The sideskirts I can notice for sure. The front bumper looks great - for those with aftermarket air and set all the way down, the original bumper still looks high and almost looks like it curves up.
Looks wicked!

Car looks really good
The only thing I don't like about the front is that in the middle of the front bumper, it lifts up making the car look higher then the rest of the car, but that's how they designed it. But overall I'm really liking the new look with it on the ground.
