I was about to say it too.
They look like dents!!

The black AC LS430 still rules them all.

Default About the new 5......

Finally saw my first ones in real life. One black and one silver. Even my boss whos not too up on cars thought the front "looked like an old Buick".

But on the other hand, the first Wald Celsior blew me away. Those things look so sweet kitted with the "T" on the grill. Much props to Wald for doing a great job.

Thumbs up

The LS430 is just an incredible car all around. Even if u dont like the exterior styling, just sit inside the car for a few minutes and u will fall in love with it, and u will forget how the car looks on the outside.

I think with a lil drop and some nice wheels, the LS becomes a great looking car. The new changes for 2004 have really improved the looks and features of the LS.

Now only if i had enough $$$ to get the damn car.....the Wald or AC kit and some 20in dish wheels.

I like the way the Equips' aggressive spokes, match up with the new sharper headlights! NICE

The AutoCouture kit looks great on the new LS, but I like it only in black, or some other dark color.
