Thanks.
just the BC racing coils. i think it was around $900 shipped.

the side mirrors i got from a vendor on here, i think his sc name was nigel-jdm or something to that effect. he had an old thread in the vendor for sale section for just about all models. they were like $250 shipped and painted, but it cost me another $200 to have them installed. the shop said it they were a pain to install.

thanks for the positive comments.

Nice set up all around. Not over the top at all, real clean and very classy.

Well since I'm such a classy gentleman myself I gotta keep the car classy as well . Thanks,

Its all about being understated, I just can't always practice what I preach.

Your car looks real nice. Please tell me this though, what lights are running for your drl's? I have been trying to get led's, but have no luck. Looking into hid's but wondering if I will run into the same problem (when I install the lights, they hyper flash. Been told to try different resistors, but no luck)

the rear (x2) toyo proxes are now up for sale in the for sale section (255/30/20 toyo proxes T1R) for $375 and in like new condition with 90%+ tread life left,, only reason i put at 90% is that they are showing very slight camber wear on the most inner part of the tires, but they have not even gotten close to being flipped around yet.

thank you,, i recommend every ls430 owner to get the jdm side window visors,, and the side mirror blinkers too

these have turned out to be just about my favorite mods to date. functional; and i always wonder why they couldn't have come this way or as an option,, but i know in japan the dealer will sell/install the side visors.
