Trying to fit in.. LS430

Hey guys, here's my weekend toy. Looking for other ideas or might just sell her to get an 04+. Dropped on local made lowwering blocks and custom front adjuster bolts. no air controller yet. Working on fixing my daily driver so I may just part it out before selling, If ever.. I don't know... I still love the smooth ride.

Front and rear is different. Its also a hassle having to piece it together, hood, trunk, etc. The dash is different as well. Its cheaper to just trade it IMO unless you find everything for dirt cheap.

Thanks guys... I actually love the grey / smoke wood interior just want the exterior of the 04+.
Widebody is correct. Unless you can get all the parts cheap and already in the same color it's much cheaper to trade...

Thanks guys, I've had the car for a good while and never got around to posting a pic till now..

Anyone interested in purchasing her as is?? Ahaha. J/k. I'd lose to much money to sell with the parts.

It's a toss up... The pre mc was great when it first came out and at the time the headlights resembled all the other large sedans but now they kinda look outdated as most cars have sharper lines hence the mc. I don't know..

What do you guys think about the Headlight eye lids? Thinking about getting them but not sure as I haven't seen many pre mc's sporting them. I'll probably do the LED tails first or when I have the extra cash anyway.

Hey fellas, if I go lowwer and tuck my wheels for regular driving about how long can I expect my tires to last? Just curious how all of you running lots of camber manage to deal with excessive tire wear other than just flipping tires. Also anyone experiece issues with there wheel bearings?

if your camber is the only spec that's out you won't wear faster, just unevenly. keep your toe good and your good.

i say no on eyelids in general.

Serious question guys.. I have some 5zigen fno1s I bought for my g35 before selling it and I'm having trouble finding a buyer. They are 18x9 with a +12 offset and beefy tires. What's the chances of getting them to fit? Any thoughts on what it will look like as well? Thinking they'll be to sporty on the ls... Maybe I'll try them on when I have a chance. I have a feeling they will rub like crazy though...
