Smile I inherited my dad's 96' ls 400, so much potential, where to start?

I inherited my dad's gold 96's ls400 a few months ago and i know this car has so much potential. I have done some little things to it such as tint, new headlights, and subs but i want to do more things like wheels and suspension, but i dont know where to begin. if anybody had any suggestions or advice for my car i would really appreicate it. Thanks- Thompson

megans can be had from several forum sponsors, i think M1 Auto is doin a sale on them...

wheels iirc ryan got from a private seller, you have to be sure to get a set that is meant to clear big brakes, teh 95-00 LS400s have MASSIVE (thick) front brakes that require wheels meant to fit big brake kits.

Personally I like 19s, but many guys run 20s. There were no pics attached to your last post.
