Nice ride! I like the fact that the car doesn't have the gold emblems. It seems like most of the 98-00 LS400s around here in either white or black have those gold emblems - not a fan.

Hope you enjoy it.......

Now you can swap out parts from your dads car while he's asleep... like mayabe bumpers, and side moldings

Love the new LS!!! My friend has a black one with chrome wheels, its looks stunning too. The pic of the old one ..ouch....

Back in ~99, My 1991 gave its all to save me from a cell phone dazed driver in an F350 with a 17K lb trailer on I-25.
He hit me after leaving a 210 ft skid mark. The two cars in front of me a Grand Am & a F150, were totaled as well,
and the girl in front of me in the grand am was injured. I got out and was shook but unbroken. I was uninjured,
and the back window of the LS was unbroken. Amazing cars. The car collapsed right up to the passenger compartment
and gave no more. Very cool cars.

Your wood should be cali walnut in the new car, birdseye maple in the Platinum ed.

Alright, congrats man on the new ride. I can't wait to see the car when it gets modded, unless your doing a full two tone theme with the kit and all, mono-tone is the way to go.

Very very nice...a few reccommendations, color match the bottom half of the car to match the top and lower it to complete the look
