LS430 Projectors = *****! but done with self leveling intact.
Clear sides
JDM yellow HID Fogs
LED all around, I mean it! no incandesent bulbs exist in or on the car except for instrument panel, seat heater "on" indicators (tried to change, didn't work for me..lol)
OEM grill painted flat black
Tein strut tower brace (front/rear)
Tein CSv2 Coilovers w/ EDFC
Steering ECU (it does firm up the steering at higher speeds)
Carbing Lower Brace
SRT billet rear member Braces
Daizen swaybar poly. mounts, (would perfer TRD/Daizen etc. sways, still get that body roll on the corners.)
Working on LS 400 BBK upgrade
Door lock actuators
Infinity door speakers, w/ pioneer PDX-5 (it kicks pretty decent for a 5 channel)
Thinking on my sub set-up while waiting to blow the stock one
Clarion head unit VX-400 (it's kinda flimsy, then again I'm used to Pioneer stuff, thats what I get for trying something different..lol)
Re-wired speaker cable to monster (thicker guage) wire
I-pod
Serius SAT radio (crap scince they merged and switched up the channels)
Sonar tails (had them for some time now and no burnt out LEDS)
RMM exaust (nice sound not to loud and not honda civic'ish..lol)
K&N Cold air intake
working on PPE Headers
NGK plugs
Ground Kit
Timing belt, W/P etc..
18" G35 rims, (had 20" Chrome Zenetti Stella's, Wow what a waste of cash, wasn't too deep into CL at the time I bought them, coulda copped something better off a CL member
instead I ended up cracking two rims, shredding a tire, and bending a control arm, for nothing cause I ended up switching rims. live and learn.
Black Emblems
Ball joints
The fun continues! 172,000 on the clock and she still kicks..I love it, been a Toyota fan all my life.
Any questions? pm me, will be glad to help.

As I posted, anyone who would want to know MY personal experience and opinion on a specific item on the list just has to ask..
And If you look closely I did post somewhat of an opinion/feedback/comments on some of the items on the list.

) since I changed everything to blue and white to match the radio, I was thinking of researching a white number clock, perhaps off a Camry or something, to keep things OEM and have to do less modding, but that project went on a back burner.I tried to change the seat heater on bulbs but I couldn't figure the correct resistor voltage etc, so I just let it slide..
