Hi guys here's my build for my 2014 is350 f sport. Bought it 6 months ago to replace my 04 LS430. I'm slowly gathering ideas and inspiration from you fellow members.

Out with the old �� I had some plans for the LS, but decided to keep it stock.

Michelin PSS tires
35% tint
no sharkfin (no idea why)

Current mods:
3M vinyl gloss black roof

Specialty suspensions seamless tank
Viair 444c compressors (dual)
Skipper-style carbon fiber front lip
Carbon fiber side skirt extensions
MV tuning rear diffuer

Picked up lightly used airrex struts for a great deal.

Now as far as management goes, I've been leaning heavily on air lift performance's 3H system. Although I could go with airrex management, height-based management seems the way to go. Accuair is great as well, but more costly. Anyone here with experience running airlift 3h? Any issues with height sensors, etc?

my interior is black, but didn't have a choice as I purchased the car pre-owned 😕.

Finally got the management. Decided to go with air lift 3p for now. Great thing is I can easily upgrade to 3H later.

Did you pick up those airrex used? they look like the older ones when they were still blue. The new stuff is painted White now.

Dont think you can go wrong with Airlift air management. They've been around for a long time.

Yeah got them lightly used. I wasn't planning on getting used struts, but I got them for a very good deal. Also, most of my friends swear by airrex struts and since they don't sell their products separately, I had to jump on it.

Got Viair dual compressors 444c in earlier this week. Went back and forth with the idea between running dual viair 444c vs a single air zenith ob2. Decided to go with 2 just in case one compressor decides to fail. Scheduled the install in 2 weeks!!

Picked up the car yesterday after getting the air suspension installed. Loving everything about it so far. I still need to mess with the custom presets and dampening. My installer did a custom trunk build with a 4 gallon seamless tank. Also used a kuda mount for the airlift controller. Will be posting random pics.

Custom carpeted wood board with seamless tank.
Airlift controller with kuda mount. Awesome quality.

The day I picked it up. Air'd out.
