Default CJITTY Mods and Pics Thread III

Hello Everyone. As some of you may know, I sold my LS600hL a few months ago and searched for my next LS. I decided to go with a 2012 LS460L in White Diamond Pearl with Black Interior.

I'm not "Building" anything but I am modifying my LS and will share my progress with my 4th Gen LS Family.

OEM Options Include:
*Factory Air Suspension
*PCS with Radar Cruise
*Luxury Package with Rear Door Sunshades
*ML Audio
*Self Parking

Here are pics of when I had it independently inspected as I purchased from a private seller and the first week.

Looks good so far! Can't wait for the outcome, possibly an awesome JDM body kit?

Thanks!! Much appreciated. The wheels were dark graphite from my SGM 600hL but didn't flow with my White Pearl..so hypersilver'd them the same color as oem 19 touring wheels and pleased with the result

Coming along nicely! How do you like the white after coming from a darker color?

Thanks. Honestly, my previous black and charcoal LS's I had were not my top picks. I settled for those because I always wanted white. Could never find a white/black interior combo and just got impatient. So the white hands down is my favorite as I knew it would be. I will always wait to get a LS when it is time to get another one

Used white LS460 is hard to come by alone but white with black interior is even more rare.

I was looking for about 4 months for a good condition F Sport. It was tough. I miss my black sapphire though but I had to go back to white. Too clean.

I got really lucky finding this one..and it just happened to be here in the Atlanta area. Finding one with the options I wanted was also difficult. So I'll be holding onto this one for a while

Look fantastic! And I don't know where the h$%& I've been that I just spotted this thread 6 days after the fact... My eyes might have been mistakenly reading "II" in the title instead of "III".

How involved was the refinishing of the wheels (if I understood that correctly)? They do blend in very well.

Enjoy it in good health! Nice color

Indeed - talk about a needle in a haystack. Even funnier, the first 600 I looked at was in the same color combo, and that number is even lower.

Thanks. They just sent wheels out and I asked for hyper silver paint to match same color as my oem 19 inch wheels and that was about it..1 or 2 day turn around

Yeah, those wheels are extremely nice. Looks very clean and sharp. Makes your car look totally different versus a stock one.
