Can you please do a write-up on a detailed installation? Glad to see it works, and the button sits really flush and looks great with the finish in the interior. I would like it even more if the LED was white, but I think it's just personal taste I guess.
Love at first sight with the Black Pearl Complete Jewelry Line KIT.
Supposedly the first Black Pearl kit for the LS430 in the states, as told by CP. http://www.blackpearl-1.com/jewelry/ucf30.html

Great job on the keyless start!
Thanks DealWithit! It adds such a modern feel to the car.
Kit is here finally. Being test fitted at the moment.
Snap of the front fitment of the bumper so far. But will still need to carve out an extra slot for the LED's to make it just a whole long strip of LED's in the front. And also carve out the license plate holder, because it just looks silly.
Hopefully will still be able to plant the front parking sensors as well.
Handled by the smooth and steady hands of Sam, Central Pine.
Test fitting the kit and making sure it is properly aligned to the car.
^ You can see how there is a gap here that needs to be filled up correctly.
All filled up and smoothed out.
^This is where the dual LED's supposed to fit.
Dual LED's
Masking and choosing sensor locations. I just really thought keeping them would look better, although all the other kits I've seen always decide to not put them in. Small details, love 'em.
Also, the lowest edge of the front bumper will be CF.
Dual LED's on each side. Will try to run a specific button for them so I'd have the option to run them independently. Maybe day running lights?
They have a strobe function I'm told
Side skirts fit perfectly with the rear bumper. The side skirts will have CF on the edges.
So I'll be skipping on the hydro dipping because it is just impossible to find a nice CF pattern with water dipping. We couldn't do it short handed like that. So I chose to go with real carbon fiber overlay, it would be more on the cost side but for way much better quality and nice CF pattern.
But now I can't decide what I want to do with the rear diffuser.
I will have the rear bumper part with the diffuser skinned in carbon fiber, and then see how it looks.
From there it would be easy to either just leave it all in CF, or if it looked like too much CF we can always just paint over the areas we don't want in CF.
The real carbon fiber that's going to be on the body kit will be work done by @dinmanncf, check him out on instagram. He's a very professional and experienced guy when it comes to carbon fiber skinning. I'm glad to have him do the work on my car. I hope the kit comes out looking nice.
Also the Black Pearl carbon fiber spoiler is finally here. It sits on the trunk, and leans a little bit towards the rear of the car, as in not being flush wth the trunk. The wing is also different on the edges, a little bit raised and bolder on the edges. Of course, real carbon fiber in 3k 2x2 weave.
King, i love this build. please tell me youre painting the kit black cherry as well? would love some inspiration for mine also, what wheels are you thinking to do?

Tide will hit hard on January 1st, 2016. That's the day I'll announce the car, and when it should be all set and done.
Thanks for following, man.

Or you plan to install it yourself?
My buddy Sam, from Central Pine is the hidden hands behind this build.
The car is sitting at their shop at the moment, but should be done end of December we hope.
