Default What are some immediate mods I should do?

Hey everyone,

I should have my LS 460L in about 10-14 days...just wondering while I am waiting for arrival of the car..is there some mods I should order while I wait?

I know wheels are a must..I am gonna wait till early summer for those.

Anything I should order now?

Thanks in advance.

Congrats on the new ride!

I would need a second job to make my car look like yours..hahah all I am doing is wheels and drop..nothing else.

The reason for my post was I was looking for quick cheap mods..like mats,tint maybe?things along those lines..no body mods or engine mods.

I would love to know if someone has done a aftermarket exhaust..not sure how it would sound..but definately would be interesting.

well navigation override is always a good start so you can actually use the nav (you able to use it in canada with an upgrade i suppose?). if you use iphone/ipod, then you can do the integration setup.

for lowering, air controller is one stop away since you already have air suspension.

Get ceramic tint on order now. I realize you are live in snowville, but it will still help with what little of a summer you do get. I'd also put a clear shield on the front of the car before any damage occurs.

biggest changes I made were

1) new audio.. dumped everything but the head unit and went with Focal.. love it

2) swapped out all the lamps that were not LED and converted them all to much brighter, whiter and lower power consumption LEDs.

3) Chrome wheels, I went with the standard Lexus spokes

4) XM Navigator... a must if you want to get the heads up on your traffic situations.
