Some recent mods to the LS

With the help of my boy Zeb, kuwupt, and On3_Lo35, we installed these new R1 Concept brake rotors and PBR ceramic brake pads. Got them off the R1 Concept for less than $300 for all sides and it was free shipping. Anyways, I really like them, so far, they're definitely a bargain and a good buy imo.

Some shots of the LS400/430 hybrid bumper:

Rear rotors and calipers (I painted them gold, I want to chrome them or polish them later though......or just get a real BBK kit). I know I know, they look freaking tiny, but the rims are 19", I swear they are a lot bigger, they just look small for some reason :woot::

Front Brakes (I know, my wheels are hella dirty, it's the rain though :sad:):

I love my carmate cup holders, got one on each side since the Recaro baby seat takes up the center cup holders.

LS460 black wood shift knob and LED Lexus lighter:

BRAGA clear (non-led) tail lights (although all the bulbs are LED though):

Oh yeah, thanx to BlackonBlack98 for the DIY on making clearance for my UCA. I guess I am low enough cause I had some serious marks on my shock tower. Anyways, now I got extra cupholders under the hood, haha.

lol. no problem. :biggthumpup:

i actually need to redo mine since 1) the hole wasn't big enough for ultra slammage and 2) i never got around to welding from the bottom side and the lip of the ring i welded in put too much much pressure on the sheet metal weld.

Don't drive with the Scaras in the rain. The clear may peel. I like those tail lights.
