Going for a 'sporty' look on the LS 400 --

I would consider my old LS to be kind of "sporty" styled. I didn't feel like shelling out the cash for a VIP ride. Plus I LOVE 5 spoke rims.
I feel the style of my wheels, grill, lighting, and exhaust gave it a "sportier" look.
I'm still debating on whether or not to paint my horns....I think it looked awesome on my old car.

But in the end all that matters is if you're happy with it. It's YOUR car, do what YOU want to make YOU happy with it.

Ha ha that is true enough. I recently saw a candy apple red LS 400 first gen in Houston. It was pretty hideous to me
but I thought this guy is really proud of his ride - paint was good just WOW can't believe he did that.
I like this guys first gen - Looks sharp even with no body work - just sporty and simple

I want a sports look too, I don't want spoiler, what else can I do besides exhaust, grill, is there something we can do to the headlight?
my tires are 245, so it has a wide look.

Nice ride - I like the small M5 trunk lid spoiler Pure talked about - also side skirts and front chin spoiler would be a nice sporty upgrade. These with a mild drip to eliminate fender gap would be cool.
I saw an Audi A6 with these today on the way to the office - it looked really cool

Are you talking about your 99 ls4 or the ls430 out running 99 cobra's? Because my foxbody mustang will out run my friends 91 ls4, my other buddies 03 ls430, and my 93 ls400. My fox is a 5speed with just exhaust and 212k miles. Even though I know those '99 cobras arent that quick, I'm pretty sure a '99 cobra would out run my foxbody. I guess it all depends on the driver in the cobra..

Then again I have beat A LOT of cars my mustang shouldn't be capable of beating or even come near beating. Very often people need the best mod of all, the driver mod

I'm in the same boat you are, I'm going the more "sporty" route with my 91LS.
I've had BMW's and Mercedes in the past, but like the reliability of the LS, so here I am.
I've found that the best way to acheive what you're looking for is to go through pics of BMW's and Mercedes, expecially AMG, Carlson, Brabus and so on. Although we can't get the same parts for the LS, this will give you styling queues to draw from.
