You go all the way. 20" classic good looking rims and then the air ride and exhaust. And also the bodykit. Only thing i dont like is the eyelids. You say you will try to cut them. Well i dont think they fit an LS.

But else i can just say very nice work there. I know myself how many hours that are used in suchs projects. You do i good job in sharing pictures and giving directions. Very cool i must say. Thumbs up. I hope i can put up some pictures of my LS project soon :-)

I'm looking for a airride kit for my LS also. Maybe you can PM me with price and where you bought it from. That would be nice thank you.

Greetings from Denmark :-) Regards Michael (Sorry for the bad spelling)

Btw, LSprideLS go to ebay and buy some old LS brochures and **** to it. And leave me and other car tuning/moding addicts do the facelifts ;-)
wow, **** to it haha you obviously dont know much about ls 400 i dont know how many times i was stopped by some complete stranger asking me if i would sell it i was offered a max of 23k for it and i refused coz i take good care of it ive got some window tint but when im done conditioning the leather polish wax the body it looks like its just been out of the showroom so no need for your crazy talk

so you still havent read the original post....
he didnt buy the car this way, in fact he stated he's owned the car for over a decade before he decided to piece together this relatively rare kit himself and start modifying the car.

Garage, please keep postin up updates

This is a great car and a great thread. Keep up the good work. The way i look at it is if somebody is hating on your car or you taste then just say screw em!

I think someone here said best once,

"If they aren't hating, you're doing it wrong!"

I agree, it looks great.

Many hours after work has been put in car. I got the air ride kit by KSport through RidesLow. You can PM him and he will give you the best price in the market. Let him know that Garage7RP referred you for the extra discount

Just take your time in creating your LS so you will do it right the first time and not waste money.

Thanks again for visiting the thread.
Ok cool, i will talk to RidesLow and of'course mention your name.

And yeah i know nice things takes time. Rather safe up and buy the good stuff than buy some cheap plastic looking f&f rims. LS is more a VIP car than a fast and furious ricer in my opinion.

I sure will be looking out for new pictures etc in this thread. Keep up the good work :-) And yeah the paintjob does alot to a half-finish car. What about the color. Are we talking about some Limo Black VIP color? ;-)

I dont know what LSprideLS really means? I guess he's confused. But I will just say sorry for my bad language in this thread. Well lets keep the concentration about LS rides. And its ok to be critic but no need for dissing.

Nice work Garage7RP

Ohh and by the way, its ok to have a classic looking car. No doubt, and when i buy a car i always looking for those in good condition. Dont wanna buy a ride where some young kid got trashed with cheap ricer stuff. But theres always a difference in taste. In me and others like the VIP look. I think the LS stock looks too much an "old mans car". Amber corner lights and 15" hub cap looking alu wheels hehe. It needs a facelift.

And though i want my car to be VIP style i also want to get the leather back in fine condition. So why dont we stop arguing and make a thread about leather threatment

Garage 7RP your ride is looking sweet man! It looks like you may live in cali. If you are in the socal area I would love to take a ride to audition your airtec setup. I have a 99 LS with Megan coilovers and I am strongly considering the same Ksport system you have since I would love to be lower but would still like the practicality of raising the car to clear obstacles we all encounter in everyday life.

Thanks! I'm currently painting the body kit. Nothing fancy or professional and everything is being prepped and painted in my garage. This is a budget build that I just want to complete and someday will get a good paint job once I have the extra cash.

I really like my KSport Air Pro suspension. If you are going to "The Pursuit", I will be there. Hopefully the kit will be completely painted but if not I will still go

Thank you! I was not into VIP back then and mostly pre-occupied with drag and autocross racing.
