it was just a matter of time....
i want a side shot before i give my verdict, the old LS430 conversions looked bulbous and out of proportion, this doesnt seem to be soo bad....

Yuck. Front end looks too big for the rest of the car.

at first I didn't know it was a conversion but when you see it from the back you can tell. Props for making it happen but im not sure I would do it to mine

Honestly, i think it looks great. The second i saw the first pic, i knew something was different but couldn't quite put my finger on it. Nicely done conversion and for some strange reason, I like the angles and lines formed where the hood meets the windshield.
I also like the subtly added signature exhaust tips from the 460.

Actually, it doesn't look too bad. To my eyes, I think the 460 looks more like an evolution from the 400 than the 430.

ehhhhhh.
Definitely clean work. No argument there.
But IMO the 460 front end doesn't go with the 400 body.
Side shots would also be much appreciated
