Future Mods:

Coilovers
Custom Exhaust 
25% all around tint

Wheels (19" or 20")

Just basic because the wife dont want me spending millions on it. lol Like I really got all that. 
Especially being a student, full time worker, 3 kids at home and husband, yeah real rich lol. 

More pics on the way. Opinions are open

too bad bout the lancer...

got pictures of the whole car?

those hids have lots of glare

10k HID? Do you drive at night? If so, you just cut down the light output by about half. I would seriously suggest 6000 k at the most but it's your car so...
Other than that, you're pretty much on the same road I toook when I first picked up my LS.
Keep us posted.

10000 k in that housing, light output must be close to none.

^my thoughts exactly. 6500k would be wayyyy better.

or 4.3k which is best output
my 6k i couldnt see much of anything

Charley

well after adjusting the levels of the beam, it is quite clear. I still have a 6k bulb set just in case. pics of the car will be posted up this weekend when i get my suspension.

Nice Marcus, always been a fan of a stockbodied ride slammed on socks - ESpecially lexus, especially lexus. Both mobbed up like that slammed is sick. Congrats to the both of youz
:biggthumpup:

NIce start..I have the same color. Get the clear bumper lights from ebay ASAP if you can. That was the 25 bucks i spent. I remember seeing that car on craigslist. GL with it.

Yeah its a clean look. Just gonna keep maintenance up and the car clean til i pay off some debt and get the wheels i want

If you are getting a clunking noise it may be rear axle carrier bushings, trailing arm bushings or strut rod bushing. These are pretty common wear items on the LS400 but you may already know from owning a 1st gen LS.

yeah i just started hearing that too. Man. well how hard is that to fix u think?:signdammit:

check mybushings.com there is like 5-10% off the first order...i think i spend like 100 or so for everything. You save like 200 if you do the labor yourself. You need to find someone with a hydrolic press to press the old ones out and new ones in for the front,the rest are kinda easy.

btw it makes a huge difference IMO. I changed those 1st thing when I bought my car then got the megans about 1 month later and the feel is solid. It felt like my alignment was off and a little floating as well as the clunking but now its good. GL

how low are you and whats your wheel specs? Im looking into some 18's or 19's but cant decide either aggressive or conservative

The rears are at the lowest setting, fronts can go more. 19x9/10 and 0/+12 offsets. conservative is around +20 offset, flush. +15-0 slight poke. 0 to -X is a lot of poke and needs pulling. I would go 19's. I have 20's and they were too big...18's are small for this large of a car unless you run like 18x11 and 18x12. IMO

Let it begin....  I like the stance so far...needs lower :)

Any updates man?

[QUOTE=SOT03Y;365389]Any updates man?[/QUOTE]

What you think?

I am already gonna get some 10mm spacers for the front and 15-20mm to pull that rear

installed and now sounds like a real V8 car. Two magnaflow truck racing mufflers. Deleted all four stock mufflers from cat back. quiet when you idle and only heard if you mash on the pedal. Love it.

im lost the wheels or the mufflers?:shrug: well the tips will be added when i find em and maybe deleting the mufflers to do a full straight pipe action

wheels are aight. meister s2r. i'd stay actively looking for something better though.
 
mufflers i do not like. round mufflers remind me of ricey civics (not saying that all civics are ricey).
 
cllean engine  bay is a must. :biggthumpup:

haha, lost myself on that one too, just edited my drunk ass post. just the exhaust, bro. full straight pipe will be beastly. you didn't waste any time with the lex's.

Ride is looking clean man.  I like the progress thus far.  Little bigger wheels would suit it nicely.
