Nice job on the shock tower but what's the cover for ^^^? I leave mine open and haven't had any issues with debris entering the engine compartment. Only issue is if you get caught out driving in the rain.

Man, I need to play catch-up on the shock towers... Then again, I need to go through my suspension in general lol. What's up with your compressors that's causing the rattle?

More of preventative measures. Those grommets cost $5 for 5. It's not like we are spending a fortune on them.

Nice car mate. I literally dipped into the LS section tonight to find a reason not to get rid of mine. Maybe there's hope yet!

after that was done I went back with Pistachio to finally cut the shock towers Pistachio was cool enough to help me out with this whole process even tho we bent 2 drill bits in the process the turn out was great
















And this is as low as shes gonna sit unless further modifications are made.. which I don't plan on doing.. im happy with this




On another note.. I had a rattle in my trunk... and I found the culprit




contacting bagriders now.. see if they will cover it or if airlift will cover it

ended the weekend at Import Stand Off in San Dimas. Me and Pistachio were the only 2 Ls400s there lol


Great looking cars.

Did that price include the body work I see a lot of primer on the car? Were the front and rear chrome trim pieces replaced or was he able to remove and reinstall them?

Nice man, what grill is that? See you have some new headlights too, still looking great. Keep it up... you inspire me to get off my *** and finish mine that as sat all summer for whatever reason. Had too much family stuff going on and too much of everything else kept me from it.

Ah AimGain, nice I like their stuff. Yes, might have a break from going to Lacrosse tournaments, so I am going to attempt to take full advantage of it...

I do dig the clear tails and projector headlights. I think your car can pull of the clears only because it's black. I come from the euro scene so we have weird mods like those so they always look good to me. Are the tails custom at all with the lighting or are they just normal functioning leds?
