Super nice work and very impressive with your fabricating skills. I imagine that several people would be interested in knowing more details and what it would cost to have a kit made. I'm really liking the matte black murdered out look. It's kind of the same way I'm taking my LS only not quite to the extreme. The LS looks sick, not really what everyone else may like but I'm all about making the car into what you want it to be and not what others want it to be.... nice work.

Well everyone has their own taste but before i planned to make my ls430 golden matte i did even see a jaguar being done with reventon colour and it looks best on a coupe then a sedan but if you like it i guess go for it

i've been waiting for the car companies to ship 'em like this from the factory for years. especially for those people who treat their rides more like something you see at the crash derby. do agree with schnitz; either let the red go or you gotta put accents somewhere else too.

what i'm really hoping for before i die is when they come up with something that allows me to change the "skin" whenever i want, just like the desktop on the computer. there's you next big challenge guys, you'll get it done before the industry does!

Talking q

I have a few questions for you Kaifuem, hope you wouldnt mind answering

1) how come you havent put tints on your car yet, i would imagine it would make it look 1000x better
2) how and what did you use to debadge the emblem and grill, and paint it matt black

Thanks, i have an ls 430 like yourself, as well as a es300, and was looking into blacking out the emblems on the es 300.

Thanks, and nice work so far!

Here's an update on the exhaust. Rear diffuser still needs to be built, but the pain in the *** exhaust is done,
And for those of you that wanted to see it "rimmed up", are those 28s big enough? lmao
