Got my clear corners in, and getting red/clear tails soon.
I was just going to use the red/clear outer pieces and keep the inner pieces stock red.
After seeing Sonbum1's tailights, I'm thinking of copying those without the chrome trim.
I have superwhite halogen headlights, and superwhite bulbs for everything up front (even the blinkers
) except the fogs, I use those as my yellows and no problem so far.
Need struts, I was thinking of going with the KYB GR-2 to stay close to stock and Eibach springs for a mild drop.
Also, I want to get bigger wheels, something silver like those 17" 2006 GS wheels I just saw advertised, or ADR Phantom or ADR M-Classic when they re-release them. And I've been looking at the HP Evo wheels, I know they have them in 17", but can't get any good pics of the wheels on a vehicle.
Anyone have experience with Avon Tyres for automobiles?
I love them on my bike and just found out they have car tires at Tire Rack.
Probably will upgrade sound system too, with in-dash DVD/MP3 player and in-dash 7" LCD.
Still have to find out if this is legal in the front seat in Florida.
Need to send my Climate Control Display to Jim Walker, and my speedo and tach needles just started fading at the tips.
Just ordered a K&N filter, may mod the airbox, and also just saw those prototype headers.
This will be needed as well.
Why stop here though, how about a supercharger
I'm trying to find out if I can fit a twin screw without modifying the hood.
Is this possible or am I wasting my time?
Will I have to go with a centrifugal to keep the hood stock?
Man, I can't believe all the good stuff I've been missing on the last four years from CL and Lextreme, I need to catch up quick!
And if I were to ever get a body kit, it would have to be this one, without the rear deck spoiler.

Sonbum1, my car is the dark brown chocolate metallic pearl, or something like that, still don't know the correct name.
I'm in Jacksonville, Florida.
I don't have the body kit yet, it's just the one I plan on getting.
Lextreme, I saw this on l-tuned for about $2800, they have it listed as Mac World, Mac Newclass LS400 aero kit, and I also saw it on a Japanese site, as Blitz.
Here's the link about 2/3 down, http://www.l-tunedparts.com/model/st...=12&model_id=2
By the way, I've been hitting your site quite a lot, I just have to register now.
I'll be talking to you soon about my gofast situation.

I've never seen another one like this.

Hello,
I didn't know this colour is so rare
I bought my LS one year ago, the same colours, even the same mileage
, without leather, TRC and Air Shocks - the only difference i can see are wheels => I have 16" from 1st gen GS, and this 15" spare in the trunk...
Paintjob is unfortunatelly old...many imperfections, rust over the rear drivers side wheel but this colour is really really great.
Its nice to see someone else have my LS's twin brother
Here is mine:

Your car looks super clean. How about a pic of the interior. I'm dying to see the cloth interior.

Hello,
Yep, maybe this is hard to see on those pics but trust me... the best thing what can be done is to paint the whole car again...this is LS...it simply must be done
after 15 years ![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Ok, these are the pics of the interior (I cannot even imagine 15 years old leather ... Especially in Polish conditions, so I'm really happy to have this one).

What do U think??
BTW: The color name for the exterior is "dark walnut pearl" - weird, looks like metalic.
Regards

My father had a car back in the early 80s, a BMW 735i, and that car was fully loaded with every conceivable option except lether. It had a velour interior. Your car reminds me of that. It looks so warm and in fantastic condition.
Thanks for posting the pics. I really appreciate that
.
Regarding your paint. Definitely a rare color.

Same interior here Simcom, your car looks great
I really like those rims on there too
Thanks for the name of the color, Lino!
I was gonna post some pics this weekend after I vacuum, but Lino saved me!
BTW, where did you get the color code, on the inside of my door I have no.363?
