I agree. Deciding what I want to do with exhaust. I have my 01+ grill I had painted gloss black on the car right now.

You can get the full setup for under $550. I get a pair of calipers from a low mileage 2010 LS460 for $110, had the rotors and SS braided lines from a previous build. Bracket set $175, RCA adaptors I chose not to use. EBC pads $120. Looks great stops even better.

What rotors and SS brake lines did you use? I already use RCA's to clear the LS400 calipers.

Stoptech SS lines are cheap and I would guess thats what most people run. You can find them on rockauto or amazon. They definitely helped firm up the pedal when I installed them on my car

I have EBC (08-14 ISF) rotors and StopTech stainless braided lines (not needed), you can use the stock lines.
There is a member on here who is working on a set of rear brackets to fit the ISF rear calipers to the GS. I am patiently waiting on those brackets, already have the rotors and calipers.

Small update, picked up these sweet Ganador mirror visors to add a bit of color to the car.



Also, my Suprastore brackets came in, thanks for BiGEZ for his suggestion on the LS460 calipers. Those will be here this week for some extra stopping power. I'll be painting and clear coating the calipers, hope they turn out OK!

Unfortunately, they're pulling everyone over where I live with exhaust modifications so I've left it alone for now. I'll probably end up getting exhaust tips to complete the "look" but leave the exhaust stock.

So does that mean you can't do change your exhaust at all or is it just if they think you've changed it you get pulled?

They're enforcing decibel limits, pulling cars over that pop and crackle, lowered, lifted, etc and giving them inspection notices. It's been a big thing in Vancouver for the last year unfortunately. Lots of cars aren't safe for the road but the ones with cars that are taken care of with modifications are being pulled over for the wrong reasons.
