Vipdout Texas / Central Pine LS430 Build

Well, i've owned my LS430 since April this year and have loved every single second of it. Best decision I could have ever made was to get rid of my GS and move to an LS. I don't regret the decision one bit and as much as I love it stock I couldn't resist starting on a build this year. I wanted to keep this under wraps also, but I couldn't handle keeping it from VSC as I always love positive and negative feedback.


Some of you may already know me as I am the Texas Vendor for VipdOut so i've probably interacted with a few of you before and this will be my daily driver + booth vehicle for future events starting (hopefully) mid next year, so be on the lookout for the booth and the LS! 


Getting right down to it, i'd like to thank Sam from Central Pine USA for getting me situated with everything. All of these items have been purchased from and through CP and Sam has been nothing but a pleasure to work with so far on this deal. Great communication and amazing customer service to the T, highly recommend getting in touch with him if you're in the market for one off kits, fenders, lighting etc.. :thumbup: 


Now onto the pictures and goodies! For the kit I went with a One Off Mode Parfume PHANTOM Gamu - REGALIA Aero Set sporting an LS600h fog transplant and a modified rear diffuser with Porsche 911 tips. I also picked up a set of full LED tails (non chasing), Mercedes Benz custom side mirrors and Braga Rain Visors (not pictured).

not feeling the fog light transplant at all. such a beautiful bumper in original form. we'll see how it comes together...

Not a big fan of the fog swap on this kit... Interested to see how it turns out after whatever suspension mods you have planned.

One thing though, are my eyes playing tricks on me or is the lower body line on your rear bumper sloping the wrong way? On the Regalia kit that line slopes upwards...

Haha yeah nobody ever likes the fogs through photos. In person it's a whole different story though. The rear bumper is extended 6". It's a one off kit, so it's originally that MP that you posted, but changes were made to both the front and rear and sides were kept OG.

Just an update.

Which event do you plan on having this at? Id like to see it in person

[QUOTE=airmax;514521]Which event do you plan on having this at? Id like to see it in person[/QUOTE]

If SN comes back then there, if not then WF. No other event's are really on my list. It's a crunch though. I'm not debuting it half assed, so if i'm not happy it won't come out. I want to debut and make a statement for Texas. :)

Welcome...keep us updated. X3 on fog because thats a soft area to mount it. I dig these cars and just here to watch.

Video of the exhaust finished and a couple high res shots. Enjoy!

oh how i love this body style! in for more!!

Sorry guys! Been so busy with travel that things just happen as they come and I forget to update! This is the most recent update from this afternoon. 


Front tires will be changed out to a smaller size. I underestimated how aggressive the wheels are in the front, so I will be moving to a 225/35 even though I didn't want to run any stretch. Rears are 275/30 


BC's come in next week and i'll be dropping off the car at the shop while I'm gone to Chicago for installation/drop/fender rolling etc.. :)

I knew you'd be a fan. ;)

Disregard the last comment. The forum isn't allowing me to edit/delete, which is frustrating ATM. If a mod sees this please remove the comment. 

Hansen: I knew you'd be a fan of the coils. 18/16k spring rates on them. If the lowering doesn't bother me to much i'll probably move to some T-Demand coils with higher spring rates. 

Brian: LOL! Air wouldn't be worth it for me. I'll be done modifying this car and parting it out by the end of next year probably. I'm cool with rolling static for a short period of time. :)

looking good bro. Diggin the body kit.

Couple of updates. :thumbup:
