Default LsBanGer43-Very Slow Progess LS430

Thought I'd start a thread of my slow progress with my 06 LS430.
Just basic stuff and a modification to my rear bumper! hope you like!

Sorry for the poor picture quality but i hope you guys kinda get the idea of the route i'm going
(don't worry about the rims I'm working on that haha)





Special Thanks to TNT AUTOBODY in SACRAMENTO!! GREAT people there!

Thanks, It's still a work in progress I still need a rear lip to complete it. It might be cheaper for your 02 since you don't have the exhaust cutout like the 04-06 models did. So you won't have to worry about molding/fiberglass.

Thanks!! Hay take your time and do it right the first time. If you rush the work sometimes it doesn't work out as you would think it would. I like the progress with your car! At least yours came with decent wheels not like mines hahaha!! Oh might be selling these coils in the future!! (Just in case your in the market for aftermarket suspension)

I don't think the integration of the LS460 tips flows very well. It would have looked better if you extended the rear bumper lower and gave the rear valence a bit more substance around the tips.

Waijai I agree with you but I'm planning to get a rear lip for the car and that should even it out and make it look more flush. but for right now I'm happy with the out come of the look. It's making people snap their necks when they take a look at the car haha!!

Excellent job. Nice integrated design that looks like a good OEM design. Doesn't need any changes at all.
