My Ls and Lex Fest
Well in preparing for lexfest i finally added my body kit and some other parts.
L-sportline front and rear bumpers as well as side skirts and 3 piece bumper.
Made a rear roof spoiler with a low roof line. Had wheel arches painted but still not installed just yet.
Eyebrows added to the front headlights a new front chrome strip to replace the old one on the front bumper. Also had the front bumper clear bra'd and waxed the car with meguiars NXT wax.
I ended up driving the most to get to lexfest so i won the iron butt award for 1800miles worth of driving from Toronto to Coco Beach then Orlando to then cruise up with the Orlando crew to Atlanta. It was a great drive until 9:05am the Saturday morning of the show. We were in the parking lot of the Hotel and i was leaving for a minute to drop my wife to the mall which is 1 exit (on the 285) away. Some ones truck drive shaft about 5 feet long was lying in the middle of my lane on a curve. I had cars on both side and slowed down to try and get out of the way but i hit my rims bad and bent one about 3 inches back. Luckily i found a shop 3 miles away called wheel wizards who did some amazing work the same day (Monday) to get me back on the road and home. If you ever need any work done for any wheel ship it to them as they have only 2 shops in Atlanta compared to the 10 we have in Toronto and they are well above all of them by far. No more half assed shops for my wheel because they are local again. I'll make a thread for the them and the wheels later.
here are the shots.
Enjoy.

Great pics and awesome turnout. I, unfortunately couldnt get the weekend off from work, not to mention I need some work under the hood so 10 hr drive from Baltimore raises some trust issues. After all, the car is 14 years old. Were you three the only LS' s there?? I really wished I could have come to represent the LS OG style. Oh well, still taking baby steps, so maybe next year. Stand alone parts for the first Gen are hard to find now and I want to do it right!!! Your car looks awesome, and do I detect a front low profile roof spoiler as well??? (YOU DOG!!!!)
This has to be my absolute favorite pic of your car (now that we can see it in the daylight,,LOL!!!!)
Seeing this image, only raises my "Haterism " level even more!!! LOL!!!!

Great pics! I never got a closeup of the damaged wheel when we were there - ugh. I'm glad you were able to get that fixed and home safely!
There were at least two other LS's that were not pictured... one LS430 and one pre-98 LS (he'd just moved up from Texas and was suprised to see people he knew from Sewell Lexus at the event, lol).

Glad you liked the pic as it is also my desktop image also.
No front roof spoiler just the rear one. There was 4 LS's mine steff's and Davegs4's as well as another LS430 in the back.
Issues , i have almost 300 000 on my odometer and a timing belt that was last recorded as being changed at 110 000. I had it checked before i left and it was only showing a few cords so it was more than good for the trip.

I've just got stock LS430 OEM wheels in chrome on it and L=sportline exhaust. Took off the L-sportline kit (same as SK's) and spring / shocks and went back to stock. Oh, I guess of note that I had the OEM painted monotone like the kit was.
Bummer about the road hazard...that rim ding looks nasty. Brr.....
