since everyone seems to be degrading your taste quite a bit, i think it looks good. i know i wouldnt dare touch a project like that, too much work involved, especially how well it came out. props.

I chose to be a bit more unique.

I would like to lower the white LS alot more but i drive that car everyday and the police here HATE modified cars, ive already been given a fine for it being to low.

What sort of suspension do you's have?
My blue one has airbags
and the white one has coilovers.

Thanks for the comments

I think the fitment and all look fine. It is just so "in your face" different, that it takes you off guard. I personally would not have done what you did, but I definately can appreciate the amount of bodywork you must have had to put in to get the panels to flow together nicely. Which rims are those?? Look like the Amistad Grace. I was wondering how they would look on a 1 LS and now i have a good idea. Nice work!!

i dont see any "alignment" issues with anything on the front end

and his headlight output cant be any worse than the US-Spec 1LS headlights

i like your use of the artisan spirits fenders and protrusion to the door, artisan spirits grill, and custom bumper from what looks to be a junction produce copy. i cannot however imagine seeing the paint color in broad daylight. that color doesnt look too well with the sun out. but you can probably offset that with some wheels like leon hardiritt ordens. i really like what you've done overall

Do you understand how much I would love to see something like that cruising out on the highway? Dragster LS400 - Get up beside it at a light, floor it, then look to the left and the other LS400 is popping a wheelie.

There is a little PT cruiser around town here that has a HUGE blower sticking out of the hood...goofiest thing ive ever seen. Ive yet to determine if it serves a real purpose, look sorta fake.
