Welcome to the forums.

Everyone has their own style and how they want their car to look. Its completely up to you how the car looks. I suggest checking out the LS400 forums and get an idea of what you want.

Lot of people selling stuff in the LS Classifieds and sponsoring vendors, like myself can post in the Vendor Classifieds.

OR you can just PM me or call me, Todd (808) 306-2228 and I can help you find what you need.

You should also find the time to read the forum rules HERE. Unlike other forums, we do follow and moderators will enforce the rules. So be proactive and read them before you post. Just a friendly suggestion

What's your budget? From there you know what you can and can't do.

What is the condition of your 94? Before you start bagging or dropping your car, you should make sure your suspension components are all up to par. By this time most of your suspension if not all of the suspension bushings are shot. Your steering rack bushings are probably gone as well. Once you start modifying these worn out parts will become very obvious very quickly. Fortunately I haven't heard of breaking ball joints on an LS like we have for the GS, but the last thing you want if to be riding nice with a good drop and nice rims then have your ball joint break damaging your brand new rims and fender and possibly killing you if you are doing 80 MPH on the freeway when it happens.

Other than that, like TrendyTodd said modify and build your car to how you want it too look like. Modifying cars supposed to be for your enjoyment, not for others. Good luck.

Whatever floats your boat Seriously though, for me, its not really about how the car turns out. Its about the journey taken during the modification process, and the memories created. As it stands now, its about doing whatever I'm doing to my car with my son. Just like how I look back over the years and remember my dad telling me how much money I'm wasting modifying my car all the while helping me do it and teaching me how to use the tools I want to do the same for my son.

I could never shoot down someone's taste in modification because if its bringing that person enjoyment, that is all that matters. I rather see someone spend his money modding his car (Even if its not to my taste) than to waste his money and life spending it on drugs or something like that.
