Default Sort of New, My 00 LS400

Hey all, I kind of lurk around here after picking up my LS400 back in June. I'm no stranger to Lexus cars as I have an IS300 as well. Did some research and started modding. Pretty much finished for the year. Next year going to make it lower, new wheels, and spend some time in the body shop cleaning up a few areas that bug me. It's pretty clean, just turned 90k miles. Just a few simple mods for now. Hope you all like:

Wow dude, that car looks to be in immaculate condition. Can't wait to see that beast slammed and on new wheels. What wheels are you thinking about?

thanks man, it is in really good shape. Picked it up bone stock with 80k on the clock from Chicago, a one-owner car, all records, just a gorgeous car.

Probably going to get a set of Works for it. I'm always keeping my eyes open for a nice set for sale.

BTW, I'm on INC, same s/n. I have a really close friend in Cary. I'll be bringing the cars next year for an event or two.

haha, you would be surprised! My family is from Chicago and there are plenty of clean cars there. This one was owned by an older lady though.

everyone else, thank you for the compliments

Went and had a friend shoot the car today. It's odd being completely on the other side of the camera

gee, so I never updated this thread, I'm sorry

got it sitting a bit lower, and actually had the wheels redone. I really like these wheels, so it was worth it (I'm actually planning on splitting them this winter to have the barrels redone, new lips, and paint the faces). Also worked on the stance a bit more too.







Up next is bags. Probably get a second set of wheels to roll in the summer too.
