jes keep it VIP by getting it slammed to the ground, whihc you cant do unless you have Air ride or Coilovers, besides..either one will ride way better than a spring/shock setup, which with ur stock wheels, the car still doesnt look low at all...you have like a 3 inch gap between the fender and the rim...but the rims shd help, but i hope u are still getting a better suspension setup, as the spring wont cut it down the road. either way ur getting there

Where did you purchase the shifter? And how was the install process?

Contact Leo at LuxuryMods.com. He had them in stock last I checked. There are 3 or 4 different styles too so be sure to ask for pics.

Install was simple and straight forward.

Nope. But the woodgrain on the Levoc Napolex shift ***** match the GOLDEN OXFORD BURLWOOD wood dash kits pretty well. So if you have that color wood dash kit you have no worries.

For the wood dash kit, I went to the site and it looks like you can only order only the complete kit?
I dont need all those peices so it would be a waste of money... Can you order the pieces you need individualy?

You can order the dash kit from E-Bay. Just do not buy from anyone who's username is something like "romani" or "dashkit." They're terrible and so is the quality.

My A/C unit was all green. And yes, I did replace the green with blue LED's. I also changed my LCD screen as well since you probably know the LS 400's have a problem with blackened LCD screens on the A/C unit.

Suggestion: In case the Blue vacuum hoses are to much / bright blue for you they have a clearish blue. The reason I say this I had the same bright blue and changed mine.

For those that think VIPcar has to look a certin way it does NOT the Lexus LS is already a VIPcar.
VIPstyle there are many ways to make it look good or bad depending on ones taste.

I stopped coming to this site cause alot of folks on here were not into VIP and now I see more and more are going that route............. Thats GREAT!!

This forum cracks me up...

Your car looks like hilarious... my brother and I cannot stop laughing. All you did was shatter the resale value with your ricer modifications (nice Wal-Mart compass, by the way)

You are the whole reason I never browse here anymore.

Rice on !!!

Boy, Haterade must have been onsale down at the Piggly Wiggly!!!

Just let it slide off your back 2k5. The majority of us here feel you have done a very good job with your LS so far. While the blue color may not be my taste exactly, I cannot help but notice the time and effort you put forth cleaning that engine bay!! Looks spectacular! The tails, suspension, interior, etc all look great! Keep it up!!
