I may have this figured out. Not sure you're going to see what I want, but I love my LS430. I might get some crap about the tail pipes, but they actually look pretty good, at least an improvement.

I'm kind of a rookie at pictures but I think I got one to work. I love my LS 430.

The color is Mystic Sea Opalescent. Not my favorite, I would prefer white, but when its nice and clean (it never gets dirty) it looks good. How could you not love a LS 430 no matter what color.

Nice car! Enjoy. :thumbup:

Nice car! but your right. Ditch those tail pipe finishers. They look anemic on the LS. They look like they belong on a early model civic. Better to have nothing at all IMHO. They go against the bumpers thick cutout. My 2 cents. :-)

I have the same color and it has def grown on me. And your right it never shows dirt I love it! Nice car looks super clean. I think if you go with some bigger exhaust tips to fill the cut outs you would be good to go. I believe magnaflo makes some good options.

Did you do make the bumper cut outs? I didn't think the 01-03 430s rear bumper had those cut outs for the exhaust tips. I know mine doesn't.

Good eye!! Now that you mention it, doesn't the 01-03 tail pipes that point downward?

I wonder if someone replaced the rear bumper cover with an 04-06 bumper cover and custom fabbed the exhaust to exit through it. From the side, the paint doesn't appear to match, but that seems to be common on these cars.

Looks great, very clean find! I would suggest some bigger exhaust tips for the rear though.

Good eye, it's definitely an 04+ rear bumper. Notice how the bumper doesn't run the length of the trunk taillights (as to accommodate the smaller trunk tails in the facelift models). I hear ya on bumpers not matching perfectly color-wise. Dealer resprayed my front bumper and assured me the guy who did it was the best in the biz....which is why the colors don't quite match and why I have some minor paint peeling on some parts of it currently lol

Nice looking car but need bigger tips.
