Default Lx450 Mods

the LX450 stock design is getting outdated. Does anyone have any ideas on mods that I can do on my White LX450?? Thanks.

Give me some help. Which way to you want to go?

Lifted, larger tires, off-road look?
or
Slammed, 22s, major bling look?

I'm looking for a nice sleek look, like an escalade on 20s and stuff...elegant, but luxuious looking u know? Not that offroad look.

So something like this isn't going to do it for you?

Oh well...it'll take me a little while find them, but I'll come up with a few pics so you can get an idea of what's possible...

Not too many full chrome bull bars that I know of. TJM may still make one. Jaos might make them still as well.

You find an Escalade on 20's elegant? I feel bad for your LX.

Default clear lens

id start by getting rid of all the ugly amber lenses
i searched and found these clear front signal lights

http://www.procarparts.com/store-lis...7&cat=4&sub=23

32$ thats a start

http://www.truckperformance.com/prod...rille+Inserts/

different grille (brushed satin or polished) that would certainly update the looks

Thanks lspower. I ordered the lenses about a week ago, they're still not here. I color coded the rear wind deflector, that definitely looks better. I think I mite go with the grill next. They should look good with my grille guard. Any other finds? What do you think of 18 or 20 inch wheels?
