what are some mods you can do to these cars? do they make any clear side markers or different tail lights for them? what are some good sites for modding lexus' and getting performance parts for them?

 

Tons of stuff...well not "tons" but the LS does have a variety of goodies. If you are near a major city S.F, LA, Orange County, San Diego...find a Japanese book store like Kinokuniya and have a go through the car mags. The one with the big sedans like the LS and GS is VIP Car, will cost cost you about $8.

If you are in the So. Cal area, check the Pacific section for the So. Cal BBQ meet on April 18.

The rest can be searched for on this site including the suspension, engine sections.

 

awesome. thanks. im located in OC, ill look into that.

 

As Mike said, there are plenty of mods for the '98-'00 LS400...including clear tails and clear corners/parking lights. Don't bother going to Kinokuniya in Jtown (LA)...I was there this past wednesday and they didn't have any VIP mags on the shelves or in stock....apparently, someone had already reserved 2 copies of VIPcar or VIP style so they weren't allowed to put them on the shelves.

 

OK, can you direct me to some sites that carry lights, body kits, and performance parts? I already have 20 inch wheels. I will get some pics up soon. Its a 98 with 26k miles. The top half is the black and a few days ago the grill and the bottom half were matched.

TM Engineering also had a sale about 5 months back on the Lsportline kit...not sure if they have anymore left, but here's the thread in case you want to inquire about it:

If you do a search, there should be numerous threads that come up with a bunch of links to other companies that manufacture parts for your '98.

 

Br1an,

A buddy of mine has Hobby Japan reserved for each issue. I wonder if Kinokuniya would do a subscription for you that way? I was bummed when the bookstore in Mitsuwa LA closed...I always got mine there. Now I go to Kinokuniya down in Orange County on Harbor...however, they wrap them up so you can't look at them first.

Oh, and nnnickkk while at the book store, look for Hyper Rev's, Vol 36 Celsior. All kinds of eye candy to be seen...although a bit dated. It is a must have for a Celsior enthusiast.

 

I guess they could do it for me that way. The bookstore in Mitsuwa LA....is that the one in Yohann Plaza?

 

The bookstore in Mitsuwa LA....is that the one in Yohann Plaza?

Yes. When they changed it to Mitsuwa, it really messed me up...I still call it by the old name. Sheesh.

 

Woah....didn't know they changed the name of the plaza...or that the bookstore was closed. What a bummer...that bookstore was one of the best/largest Jap bookstores that I knew of....disregarding the fact that they carried the most VIP mags.
