If im not mistaken, you take them out, put them in the oven, seperate them up, and take out the orange part. Not sure if its possible on the LS, but I know the GS guys do it all the time. He might have done something else, im not 100% sure.

In the Oven? What do I seperate, The 3 rows of the tail light? If that is so I'll need a tutoral for that, maybe I'll ask the GS guys about it.

No, you will be separating ALL the glass/plastic, from the actual housing. However, to be honest, after looking closely at that pic, it looks like he installed clears ends from the 95-97's. Because they don’t seem as sparkly and shiny as the 98+ lights.

I'm not even going to worry about it, it seems like it would be a royal pain in the ***.

It's not possible to get the orange piece removed from the tail lights. I hear there's a company in Japan that does it with some sort of laser machine, but I hear they charge over $500 for it and that's not including shipping. We have some JDM tails coming in so we'll be changing out the tail lights soon.

Looks very nice to me. I'd drive it in a heartbeat. I haven't been a big fan of the Stern wheels but they look good on your car. Really good. Good enough to keep long term. What size are they? Nice ride. Good job.

Nice transformation!!

Do you have many hills where you live? If so, play it slow when approaching one unless you can adjust your ride height. I have an air controller, but learned to respect inclines the hard way!

Great looking Lex!

the wald kit looks sick on your LS. It just flows so well. Did you consider molding the front and rear lips to the bumpers?
