I like the orange, its a nice touch. Would probably look good on a black LS400 as well for the all out Halloween look.

Also you got a monotone paint job, much better than the 2 tone paint we get from the factory.

Gita, that orange on white looks surprisingly good. Who would have thunk it. Who else is addicted to the diamond pearl with the moonstone (I think) pearl grey on these cars, like implayaz9's?

Diamond white pearl is nice, I like it.

I will only own white or black cars so either is cool with me.

I do feel the Diamond white pearl would would be a lot better if there was no two tone grey going on....same way I feel about my Onyx black.

alright to answer a few questions, I live in spring hill, not too many LS400's around here haha. the lip is a DC2 Mugen lip, but ill be upfront, theres a lot of cutting and fitting, and its still not 100% yet lol. as for the 326Power decal, its in the works for some 326 coilovers and possibly BBK. trying to work out a deal with them at the moment. ive got BC extreme drops with 20kg/18kg setup and honestly its not stiff enough, the 326 coilovers go all the way up to 80k!!!

if 20/18 isn't stiff enough you're doin something wrong.

80kg/mm springs....at that point why not just have solid suspension welded up.

No doubt!?
How the **** is 20/18 not stiff enough? I'm at 14/10 and I don't think I could deal with it any stiffer than that!
What's the point of having a big comfy car like and LS if it rides like a brick dragged over gravel?
Why even bother?

I've done the super low static thing but my car(s) still were comfortable to drive... I really don't understand the obsession/status symbol/bragging rights of running stiffer spring rates then the ones we used in GT3 Cup cars at the 24hrs of Daytona, in a street car!

I'd guess you need to revise what you done to the car, maybe look into other areas for problems, because there is no logical reason to run such high spring rates on a street car if you've modified it right... Even with crazy stretch/poke/camber...

My 2¢

Yeah, I was wondering this too. Maybe rock one their wings at some point? I think it'd be pretty interesting on an LS (since your's seems to be taking a more sporty approach).
