LS400 Build- 00'

Hey all, I am new to posting here and fairly new to the Vip scene. I figured I would start a build thread as I have a lot of plans for this car..

The plans include:
Either aggressive pull or radiused fenders
19x11 and 19x10 Work Euroline DH's
Raising the engine for oil pan clearance
repainting the car soon depending on quarter panel plans (color change to dark grey)
Hopefully some fancy Japanese aero eventually :)




This is as it sits now on the 19x9 and 19x10 Style 95 Bmw Wheels with 25mm adapters and 215/35 and 235/35 tires..

And here is a rolling video of it, don't mind the scuffed up camera :/

Any criticism is welcome, but don't state the obvious, I know the wheels are played out and it needs paint lol


Updated shot of the LS...

Also, Just to explain for the username.. I THOUGHT this was the car I would be modding, but the wife had other plans haha

Nice LS I have a 99 =) If this is a build you might want to put this post in the Lexus/Toyota section for builds makes it easier for others to find. Looking good so far!

Nope, I wrapped it since the wood was starting to fade pretty badly. It looks much better in person honestly.
