Talking Pics Of My LS400!!!

I just got the Lex last week saturday and i thrown on a pair of 18in DVS rims on wednesday. Its loaded with every option. Air suspension, NAkamichi (what eva) system,heated seats,built in cell, ect.






Sorry for the poor quality images. When i changed the format to jpeg it got messed up. Anyone knows how to over come this?

Anyway comments are welcome.........

The car looks pretty nice. The only thing I would do is lower it so ou don't have a fender gap. Otherwise looking nice and clean. You have any future plans for that car?

the interior is dark grey. I plan on clearing the bumper lenses and get some tails etc...
Is there anyway of me lowering my ride with the air suspension. I read some posts saying about some rods can anyone post some pics so i know what to do .

Default Nice car!

The two- tone paint color is the best colors on the 1st gen LS and 1st gen GS300.Those are also nice wheels.I have just not seen a 90LS with heated seats.Maybe you would like to do what I did and get the exhaust tips I got for my ride and I will post pics in a few days.Unlike mine I cannot drop the car with that elctronic suspension trick that people talk about on here.
My tips are real nice without the loud exhaust sound that I never liked on a luxury car.
I also went with 1/4 inch spacers on my ride though I am running 255/35/18 in the rear and 245s in the front.It made the tires either stick out a bit more from the the fenders rather than tuck in.
My new pics should be coming soon.

what size tips do u have? I might consider putting on sometips. yea the ls400 came with the option of having heated seats. I cant imagine having 255 on the rear i bet it looks like a muscle car. hey it is a v8 hehe. does the 35series tires make the 18's look bigger??
i got 245/40/18 send me your pics at takenbxova@aol.com i would love to see how ur car looks. Later

If only I can download this software that came with the digital camera.I need to add another partition to my pc and install 98.
The 255 is not even enough for me.In 2 months I will put the 255 in the front and trade in my 245 for 265 in the rear.Discount tire has been nice soo far and their 265 is only $150.Everyone I have seen soo far with 18s don't have the wheels sticking out a bit unless they have higher offset on their wheels.I am not sure but I think my tips are about 21/4inches.Imagine the 992000 and up Acura 3.2 dual exhaust tips but mine is a bit wider than those.

What condition is your car in? No leaks or smoking? I am thinking about getting an older model LS for my younger brother and want to know what problems you came across on yours and what you had to replace, I know you had to do some repair on her.

Did you have to do any adjustment in the fender area to fit the 245/40/18 tires in the front or do they fix perfectly without touching. My reason for asking is that Tirerack.com recommend using 235/50/18, and wanted to know if any other combination would work.
