Whats going on LS400 fans. Anyways I'm a new owner of this wonderful 91 LS400. 152k miles, engine is nice and quiet, trans shifts smooth, starts up nicely, Trans, coolant flushed recently. However it reminds me of "grandpa's car" since I came from a 91 Mr2 Turbo. Other than So here's a pic of when I bought it.

and i got some questions:

1. My wood trim came off the driver side. How do I put it back/what adhesive should I use?

2. Any maintenance I should be looking to do?

3. Any tips on making it look like a nice car and not grandpas?

Thanks

yes they're definitely grandpa cars when stock. you need wheels, 18 or 19". aftermarket HID headlight kit, tint the windows.
with the wheels, there are many styles to choose from. do some research on here to see whta looks good, there are tons of pics. just don't get something generic, chrome and weak fitting!

I must say they do look a little grandpa, but with rims and tint and some clear lenses it really modernizes the car and looks more like a new Merc or Bimmer.

The trick is to have both the LS AND the MR2! in a perfect world eh?
Congrats! when it come down to it, who cares what it looks like, perfect motor tranny combo and super smooth! What shes all about!
