Default some updated pics of the LS

Hey guys been a long time, since march of when I bought the car that i posted pics of the car

it has undergone some slight changes, next after I get done paying tickets and bills will be the suspension to have it sit a little lower, I also want the window visors, and some more toys to entertain the riders

but here they are, camera sucks more than I thought it did so sorry

Loving the blue color. Really sets the car off. Nice rims too,, I have the same ones. Only thing is,, needs a drop and the look will come together even better.

yes the car is definately due for a drothanks which it is for sure going to get, I pinky swear hahaha, i think that is going to really make a difference

I am not too sure what to go with yet, I am thinking springs for now than maybe coilovers next spring, as the car is going to be garaged in the winter,

but thanks for all the commments guys, the wheels are better than OEM but actually came from another GS that I had, ill probably buy some better wheels next summer as well, I would like a little more defined lip on this car... maybe a 3 piece more VIP wheel... will keep everyone posted...

MY LS however has like a grey/blue interior, I will post pics of that later

thanks for posting that, gives me an idea of what it will set like after a nice drop, those are 20's correct?

UM,, Stefwilli's car was officially colored a BMW carbon Black. In some lights it LOOKED blue but was actually black. Just like a sheet of carbon copying paper. His rims were 20" Iforged. Here is a link to his page with the progress from start to finish. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...ight=long+road

I definitely like the blue color since it is unique - don't ever see that color around. When you drop the car it will definitely look better - I found an old pic of my LS with the first mod (wheels) on stock springs and struts. The fender gap then was 2-3 fingers and now there is no gap - no gap is good

That blue is prolly my favorite color. Only if it came with a black interior option here in the states.

again thanks for all the comments guys, you all kick ****!

I didnt even realize that the blue was uncommon, just thought it was another color haha, now that I think of it you dont see very many blue lexus' at all...I think I have seen a couple blue IS' bust first gen

I agree I would have liked black interior better, I didnt really like the blue/grey interior that is in the car now, but its growing on me

anyone know where I can buy the visors?
