LiCelsior's 2006 slow build
 

Been on the low key with this but decided to throw up a thread.

Picked up a black on black 2006 LS430 back in November 2013, and been slowly upgrading it since.

Damnnnnnn boyyyyy

looking forward to seeing the finished product.

The car looked great before, cant want to see the new look!

damn bro!! get some updates on IG!!!! :)

Looking good. Any specs on the speakers you used for your audio rebuild? I need to tear apart my whole audio system also. :(

thanks guys, ill be sure to update this thread and IG soon. Car is coming out the shop later this week.

I replaced my 4 speakers with 6.5 PRV 6mb200's and they sound amazing.

looks great. I really like how the theme is consistent with the kit, wheel, selection height of the car etc. Great job!

Car looks perfect man! nicely done!

looking good man!

Your car looks even better now. That body kit is insane and I love the way the new Works look. I was thinking about getting a set of the Zeast for my LS but I wasn't sure how good it would look.

How difficult was it to install the new sound system? Stripping down an LS430 like that seems like it would be a hassle.
