CENTRAL PINE LS430 DEMO BUILD USA

Here's my project build up on a 02' LS430 facelift 05' / "One Of" aero kit and headlights. I had the opportunity to design my kit and Central Pine Japan made this happen for me. So just a brief description on this build and where it's leading to. First off since coming back from Japan and seeing all the nice "VIP" cars at the shows, I wanted my car to be like Japan style's of aggressive and "one off" mash up's or straght off ideas from your own vision. And this is what's been goin down. I am planning to have the complete build for Wekfest L.A. May 25th. Hope it'll all turn out as planned.

good start, I'll be following this...

Good stuff Chris. - Dennis

Nice def will keep up with this thread

damn I wanna see more of the front bumper...nice start

Love this. I am very interested to see how you go about the fenders, most overlooked aspect of most VIP builds I feel in the US.

Looking good chris!

Yeah buddy dope. Wekfest or not lol

very nice work!

Hi Guys, here's more pics on the build. Sorry for the incompleted pics posting from my first thread. In continuation with more pics added on. Here's what the kit looks like on, and I've decided to re mod the front bumper since I didn't have a chance to finish before leaving Japan.  Bare with me, I'm still new .

Damn this is going to look sick!

recently central pine japan was in contact with a good friend of mine here in socal to see if he knew anyone that can host a US build. i'm glad they found a shop willing to take on the work which involves all-metal fender fabrication and one-off builds as you mentioned. what shop is this exactly?

you did work on my buddies sc300 recently.  he was talking about this build.  looks promising thus far!  shop is in San Jose timmy0tool, tho the name of the shop leaves me atm

Thank you for sharing this, please keep us updated with pics! It looks like it will turn out fantastic!

bump for updates Chris, I know you got them!

Nice, I'm looking forward seeing how this will turn out :biggthumpup:
Question; doing the fenders like that (stock'ish height) to maintain maximum drive-ability?

i'm very interested in those wheels,, VR01 i believe, is that black chrome lips, and what size¿

nice!!!

Can't believe this is stateside...

subscribed and speechless

Fucking Aggressive.

Have been following your FB page for a while now.  Awesome work and killer pics you have on there!

Yeah Jspec, I figured if I provoked him he'd post some on here, lol, I've been following on FB too.

[QUOTE=ultm8mind;497954]Would those rotors work with factory calipers?[/QUOTE]

Car is perfectly executed man! nicely done. Is that hood seibon cf? or custom all metal

hOOD IS Custom all metal.

Love it. Only thing that would make the car pop more is wild set of wheels. Love the aggressive nature of everything.
