That photo is NOT photoshopped. I just cropped out the side of the photo...next to the car, there are PARKED cars and a parked SUV. What you're seeing is not the back end of a SUV, but the front end and it's not facing the JP car...it's behind it a little bit...I just examined the photo more closely and it's not photoshopped..everything lines up in the reflections...

Dunno about you guys, but I LOVE that JP Celsior...I would do that kit but with some 20" wheels...

thanks for checking,it would be hard for me to decide,but for the front I would definitley go with the Fabulous Kit,but looking at it more I would definitley go with the JP for the rear.

The problem with the Fab kit is that from the SIDE, you can see just how large the front and rear bumpers are...they stick out a RIDICULOUS amount....the kit looks good from some angles, but from the side, it reminds me of those "vanning" kits.. (you know, the crazy *** mini-vans in Japan with 1000000 Kilos of bondo)...why? Because that is a popular thing to do on those vans...they make the bumpers as big as BENCHES.

Well, besides the Fab kit, what kit do you guys think looks best on a 2nd gen (95-97) LS? I like the JP kit, but only for the LS430 not the 400's.

daygo,
Good meeting you at the BBQ. You planning to grab a 2nd Gen LS? If you plan on something clean..WALD isn't too bad of a choice. Dunno...the Fabulous Celsior UCF 20/21 Before Kit just looks too clean.

manaray I know what you mean. What's more sick about those vans are the nasty paintjobs. I remember seeing one of those wacked vans with either Pokemon or some crap painted around it.

But something about the Fabulous Rear 430 Bumper. Dunno..maybe it's just me.

Hmm..maybe manaray is going to get a LS430 UL. Hmmm

LS400 GOD- it was nice meeting you too, as well as, everyone else at the BBQ. Can't wait till the next meet!

I'm considering getting a '95-'96 LS as daily driver. Something big and luxurious (I only have 2 doors right now). The Wald kit is very clean. Does it come with full replacement bumpers or just a lip spoiler? It would be very hard to pass up on the Fab kit though! :eek:

Ah, the '95-97 LS400 (UCF20/21 MC Before)...one of my favorite LS's...well, I like 'em all...but I too considered of these as a daily beater...

Personally, I would do the Wald Executive kit. It's a add on spoiler setup and it's inexpensive because it's just a lip kit (like $1400 retail for the front/side/rear)...I love that white LS400 they have on their webpage....drop it on some nice 20" wheels...

LS400 God - SHHH!! Hehhee...well, if I can sell GS430, the LS430 UL would be a consideration. Especially now that I can get the R-Spec air suspension controller to lower it...

Manaray- Yeah, I like the white LS that Wald has on their site too. Wald would give the LS a nice classy look. I wish Auto Couture would make the kits they have available for the '98+ LS for the '95-'97's. The kit they show on their site for the "95-'97 is butt ugly IMO. I would do the Fab Profounds in 20, but somebody already ordered them! So, I guess I would have to go with some 20" HRE 540R series...right Manaray!
