Working on my LS the past few weekends

 

Making me want to search out the OEM Lip kit haha. Looks good.

 

Thank you! It sure wasn't inexpensive but well worth it to go with the rest of my build.

 

Your car looks incredible! I need that lip kit. I wish there were more affordable lip kit options out there.

 

Thank you it’s been a fun challenge finding these parts and then restoring them to OEM specifications as well mounting them as intended from the factory. The lip kit and body/paint not including installation cost as much as a complete authentic full kit 😂

 

I bet it was tough to find. I wish I had grabbed one of these kits back in the day. What is the lip kit made out of? Is it as durable as the factory bumpers?

 

Yeah def harder to find an OEM one. It’s too bad the companies are making rep ones but it is what it is. The OEM one is made out of Polypropylene same material as the bumper since it’s a Toyota part. Very durable abs flexible but can be damaged easily if you hit a curb, etc. on the front lip for example. Can be repaired though like my front lip. We repaired it by having the damaged area cut out, new plastic welded in and flexible filler. It’s a process but can be repaired if done right by a reputable body shop. When I got this kit it had three different layers of silver from Japan lol at the body shop we stripped it all the way back to the original material to start from scratch and restore it properly. I’ll post more detailed pics of the installation process soon.

 

I thought it might be the same material as the OEM bumpers but I never thought to ask anyone about it. I didn’t realize it could still be damaged so easily. Our roads are pretty bad so I’ve avoided lip/body kits unless I can get a polyurethane one.

How was the installation process? I thought about saving up for an Artisian Spirits front lip or even a full body kit.

 

Such a beautiful car....congrats on the pick up!

 

Awesome looking car. Always wanted this color combo but had to settle for moonlight pear/saddle My next upgrade is front and rear dash cam, did you install this yourself? How was the install and is it hard wired to your cigarette lighter?

 

White on Saddle is a pretty rare combination.

 

Thanks
Yes, i wired it myself, hardwire kit off Amazon, plugs into a fuse panel, i went with passenger side.
Its not hard to do, just used one of the plastic pry tools to push the wires behind the trim pieces.

Nice LS build Wald lip kit? Looks awesome !

 

New to CL and just bought this LS 2 months ago. I’ve had later model big body cars and they don’t compare. Would love some advice on wheels though. There’s some nice work wheels for sale that I’m looking at but have no idea as to how they’ll fit. They are 20x10.5 (rear) and 20x9.5 (front) with 0 offset all around. Anybody on here have similar fitment with nothing to minimum guard work? Plz let me know. Thanks
