Default Best modifications for 1990-94 LS400?

So far, I purchased the clear bumper lenses. I haven't put them on yet, but for $50 you can't beat the difference it will make.

Any other cheap modifications you guys know about or have made?

I've heard, blue interior light bulbs is another easy one. Although, it's not the most professional looking (I'm using this car for my future real estate career)

The Daizen sway bar bushings only cost like $30, its easy to install, and it makes a huge difference in handling. One of the best mods per dollar you can get.

I also think that the new leather kit I installed in my car from Leatherseats.com was one of the best mods I have done. It was a bit pricey, cost me about $950 when it was all said and done, but absolutely worth it. It completely restored the feeling of the car inside and made the car much more comfortable:

The next best mod were new brake pads. I bought Axxis brake pads and they were amazing.. totally changed the brake feel of the car. That combined with Stainless Steel brake lines, the car now brakes much more responsively and confidently.

I actually have these if someone wants them. They are brand new. I bought them, but don't need them anymore.

Leatherseats.com looks like they make quality products.

A lexus parts guy told me it would cost $200 to get one seat re-stuffed.
I gotta go back and ask him where.

Leatherseats says it would cost between $300-$400 to pay someone to install seat covers although I should be able to do it myself.

Default Cheapest, easiest, best modification...........

I just installed the clear bumper lenses. I can't believe what a difference it makes. Seems like I get a looks, but hey, it's a Lexus.

P.S. Don't tell anybody it's only a '91.
