If he asks for opinions he's going to get them.

Python and PureDrifter, I want you to both exit this thread and cease posting in it from this point forward. The public back and forth between you two needs to stop immediately or I'll alternate months suspending you from the forum so everyone doesn't have to wade through the ongoing ugliness. It ends now.

Other members - I caution you to review your work before you post in this thread.... You don't have to like what this member has done to his LS and feel free to share your opinion. But do so constructively and politely. Make recommendations in a mature and thoughtful manner. Knock off the personal insults.

Many of the folks posting here need to take some time to re-read our sense of community thread (this one is the 2IS forum but I think we're going to need one here soon with the same message) --> https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-is-forum.html

If I saw you in real life I would LOL and make wack comments, but that's me being stereotypical and making judgments before knowing someone.

I read through this whole thread and you have got loads of ***** and you seem like a real stand up kind of guy. I wont say I am feeling the homemade-ness to your mods, but not everyone should spend loads of money to make their car the way they like it, so props to you

I applaud your self-initiative and your ability to work sheet metal. Being a former body man myself, I know it's NOT easy. However, I would have made the hood cowl much smaller and a little rounder to contour the existing hood lines versus the sharp lines you introduced on your car.

T "R" emblem does appear to be ricey but it is unique so if you like it, it's your car no need for criticism there.

I think it would be better without the taped stripes, ruins the paint

if you wanna hear your car with out the exhaust are your aftermarket exhaust isnt welded on all you do is loosen the bolt after the cat and pull the piping back till it falls off. then after your done slide it back on and tighten the bolt. it sounds awsome
