I TOLD YOU IT WAS A LONG ROAD, lol

Then came the big changes: Color change "carbon black", Wald Body Kit, 20inch Iforged trial, another 7" front mount TV and a bigger flip down 15"


You can see the color and 15" tv here



Up next: Finish the I.C.E- 13" trunk TV, clean system setup

This pic you see the 13" in the trunk lid and the 7" where the rear-view mirror was, lol

This was today, I hope you can see why it hit me that this is it
F.Y.I These pics were taken at a photoshoot for RIDES magazine. Make sure you all pics up this issue in the spring of 07


Then Last up: New wheels (again) 20" MRR HR3 staggered



See me rolling




I want to thank everyone that gave me ideas and answered my PMs along the way. I really believe that clublexus is the best car community that there is, there have been lots of new faces but the forum remains the same. With out this forum my car would not have been possible.

Wow Stefan, what a nice way to take a trip down memory lane. Man, I remember when you first got the LS to replace your old ES, you were giddy for joy Now look where she is! Great job as always

I know you mentioned that you're done with your modding plans, but have you thought about putting a set of JDM window visors on the LS? I think they would really complement your Wald kit. Plus the side view seems so oddly naked for some reason

Nope guys, for some reason my car just went really low with the l-sportline setup, since the first day they were in, and no thats it, no lower.

Doug, thanks man, and no more mods for this car. If it looks naked then naked its gonna be, lol.
