They actually do come in 20s! You will have to find a second hand set or leftover stock at this point tho. There was a guy on vip style case that had them and when I reached out to him they were already sold.

So what did you do with those old wheels?

Love the build so far!

when you black out the headlights are you gonna do any LED or Bi-Xenon mods?

I'm gonna keep the old wheels as those are my favorite LS430 OEM wheels.

I'm still on the fence if I want to do anything to the current DRL. It's tough to say.

Id say you should cause your already opening them up... But its up to you.

Quick question, do you have the techstream cable, or know someone that does? My check engine light came on and all the code readers i have tried don't work.. Don't wanna spend money

Well It's Been A Minute So I Though I Would Update Everyone.

Back In The Beginning Of May I Let My Sister Borrow My LS430 While I Was In New York For Work And Sure Enough Asian Woman Driver Syndrome Caused An Accident, My Sister Rear Ended A Mini Cooper. Fortunately She Was Fine And The Damage Wasn't Too Bad. The Silver Lining Is It Was A Great Opportunity To Buy Some New Pieces For The Car. I Ordered The K*Break Grille (Which They Just Finished Making And Shipped After A 1.5 Month Wait), A Version Select Lip Kit (3 Month Wait Left), And I'm Basically Getting A Brand New Front End From Insurance.

As Of Recently I Have Just Been Working On The Smaller Details On My Car. I Installed My Jaguar Rear Trays And Spent Some Time With My Father Installing Hardwoods In My Trunk. I Just Received My Junction Produce Fusa, Tsuna, And F&R Curtains That I Ordered. I Am Currently Waiting For My Nagisa Camber Plates To Ship.

I'm Coming Closer To My Version Of The Perfect Daily Driver.

That hardwood floor looks awesome! How did you get that in there?

I can't wait to see that K-Break grille. I finally got my extra one painted like yours.

I did it in 3 different sections and used the factory trunk mat as a stencil. So the biggest piece is the piece that covers the tire. I still have to glue all the wood pieces together since right now they are just interlocked. Yeah my grille should be here by the end of the month and then it will be off to the body shop to get fixed. Then I have to wait for the lip kit to arrive -_____-.

Thank you sir! I just installed the curtains tonight and the Fusa/Tsuna yesterday. Getting closer to where I want it to be as a daily.

Appreciate the love guys! Now I just need to do the Bi-Xenon retro fit, paint my housings black, install the Nagisas, and get the lipkit installed and painted once it arrives. Then I will be done with my version of a nice daily driver LOL.
