Thanks for the kind words!

Wheels are 20x9 +30 20x10.5 +29 w/ 5mm spacers all around. 225/35 and 245/35 tires. Megan coilovers. Front tires will catch the fenders if I turn on an incline but otherwise minimal rubbing. Could go a little more aggressive in the front but don't want to sacrifice driveability.

Spoiler is from nycautoparts, pretty sure its a rep of the Oem sportdesign spoiler.

Thanks again...forgot, no engine mods but I'm tempted every time I see a SRT intake or headers in the classifieds.

There's nothing quite like black when it's clean, was really looking for a SBM but black was choice #2, I've always loved the reflection you can only get with dark colors.

Wheels are Maya STM's, picked them up used, I believe they've been discontinued for a while.

Car looks great bro. Was definitely at odds with the LS460 retrofit (been collecting parts but was on the fence about getting LS430's instead), but your ride put me at ease. Keep up the great work, and the fogs look awesome as always.

Yeah the retro looks really nice.. I actually didn't even notice. He mentioned it in another thread of mine and I didn't even consider it, thinking it would look like the eBay lights but they almost look stock. It looks great.

Thanks again guys!

The output on the LS460's won't disappoint, it's not quite on the LS430 level but I like the shrouds on the 460's better. If you're not familiar with the car you wouldn't know they're not stock, they fill the headlight almost perfectly.

The bulbs are the same but the projector design on the LS430's have more output. They have a reflector bowl below the projector that sends more light to the sides adding width. The 460 lights turned slightly with the steering wheel so the extra width wasn't necessary, the bowl below those projectors just fills in a few dim spots. The 460 projectors are still plenty wide in a retrofit even without the turning feature they had when on a 460.
