Zach's I don't know what direction it's going LS400

*Warning - Lots of instagram photos LOL *

What's up VIPStylecars! My name's Zach Meister, and I figured it's finally time to start a build thread of my UCF20. She's a 95', black on black, and has 160k on the clock. Wasn't planning on picking one up, kinda just fell into my lap after my GS got totaled :sad:. After a bit of time, she's stolen my heart. 

My old 2GS -

then shit happens and turns into this:

So anyway, moving onto my LS. Bought her completely stock, then decided to dump er.

had some VSKF's, but decided that wasn't the route I wanted to go. Want to try something a bit different.

Got some Mirrors with EXE Covers for the car and a UCF21 bumper (Totally going to do this the stupid way and piece together a front end instead of just saving and buying a 98+ car.)

Got rid of the KF's and replaced them with these, Rotiform SJC in Black Chrome. 18x10 -8 & 18x12 -13. ...yes, I will be getting new lug nuts =)

Which so far is pretty much it... Pretty boring eh'? Did a couple little things like buy a Nardi woodgrain for it and throw it in, etc. I'll take more legit pictures of it and post em' up.

Now it's time to start piecing together the stuff for a third pedal! (Not the ebrake =))

Thanks guys for reading!

nice platform. i think the vskf would have looked better. please do not update the front end.

^
Save your money and don't convert the front end....use that money for something else like let's say that third pedal haha.
This build has so much win- awaiting updates GL!

Thank you guys! I will update this post later with some new pictures. :)

Keep that front! It looks so much better

Love the wheel choice!!!!!!!!!!! Gonna look so ill zach!

Those rear lips are insane...not a huge Rotiform fan so I'm interested to see these mounted.

Those roti's are hot! Looking right!

Finally got my Rotiforms on. After the spacer in the front to clear my brakes, we're sitting at 18x10 -23/18x12 -13.

Next up she's getting Studio's line of arms and stuff. Really excited with how the 18's turned out. Can't wait to keep moving on with it!

Very nice, they came put beautifully

How much fender work was done to fit these? Any closer views?

[QUOTE=VIPPEDOUT;462344]How much fender work was done to fit these? Any closer views?[/QUOTE]

A decent amount of work was done. They aren't the prettiest fenders in the world, but they have a lot more work to go.

Thank you everyone! I really appreciate it.

looking good man, wish i had seen the car on the VS-KFs though! lmk if studio will be making another batch of RCAs. i will want a set too.

So, I've been kind of lagging on updating due to... Not really any updates.

Tranny esploded on this thing. So in the process of swapping it before VIP Fest, no manual swap, yet. 

Anyone have a good body guy in Socal? Looking to do some work with my rear fenders to get em cleaned up.

Looking sick bro.

best shot! I think it looks great. I can not wait to get my car fitted like this

I swear some people are not satisfied until their cars a 1mm off the ground lol

I thought the point was to have a car that looked sick (as this does now).. Not retarded. I must have been confused

must have. it's ok though, we all know you're a little touched in the head.

LOL.

Wheels are up forsale. All Testing waters right now as I still really like them, but I want to see some other fish in the sea.

looks very nice bro!

Your car looks positively wonderful! Diggin the 18's! 40series tires?

Thanks everyone. 35 series sidewalls.

It's been a little since I updated this. Got my rear's in! Threw them on so I don't have to replace my tires on my stock ones LOL. Specs are just about the same as the rotiforms, went down from a 265/35/18 to a 255/35/18 on the 12's to hopefully remedy a little of the rake.

Got a could final tweaks to make. :alright I'm repainting my center caps and striping the blitz logos in black to contrast the paint.


Did a little wack striping on the front too, just until I repaint the car.

Looks great. Those are just flipped barrels right?

Thanks Prime!

No, these were 17's that we converted from 2 piece welded to 3 piece bolted and stepped up to 18's :)

good stuff zach! what coils are you on again?
