Man that is one clean 95 bro - I need to do that to mine but I don't think it would look as sharp. The wheels are nice - it's all nice - good job!

Lookin very slick man!!!

I'm interested too.. in your red/clears for the inner portion, center light, did you use an LED or a red glass bulb?

I've seen people just leave it out which I kind of like because at night it makes the rear end look even wider than it already is
but would that leave the "bulb out" light on the dash?

I got all my LED from V-LEDS
http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/fp/SFV/32481
theres the link to their website. im really happy on how they came out. my friends are ordering their leds from there too. they are very satisfy with the outcome.

i would use that website to see the bulb types you need. just search for the on v-led and you should be set :]

Yes i do have LED for my center light
http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481
theres the link to the ones i purchased.
http://www.v-leds.com/Shop/Control/P...id/0/SFV/32481
i would also get those, because the led has less resistance to a regular halogen bulb. so your out bulb warning will turn on. my R/C/R came with red bulbs but they look ekkieeeeee haha

thank you everyone :]. i love my 1995 LS400 a lot and im trying to take care of it as much as possible. i know theres a few dings here and there that i still have to fix. but a lot of my money goes into maintenance : /. i want to make sure my motor runs forever :]. but soon everything shall look excellente tehehe. Im feeling your exhaust setup steveski. im looking down that path right now hehe.

Nice job .. I am about to do the same thing to my 94. I've forgotten what the haze of wax looks like

You took off your tag, that shows detail..

One question: Do you do anything special around door jams, and emblems? I've always waxed 'up to them' and sort of polished them otherwise,.. if not the wax will get in places where it isn't easy to get out.

Thanks and sharp ride,
