I have a pair of Ivory Chopsticks. Those are a better match for the table than the walnut ones.

I think the picnic tables are a fun mod. Brings back memories of the rear picnic tables that were available from accessory companies for the LS400 in the first few years. I think the long gone Beverly Hills Motoring Accessories sold them.

Ah, well for the dollar apiece I paid for the tables, I think it was a fairly decent Mod. I don't really think I'll be doing much more than this, I appreciate subtleties and don't tend to go overboard on most things I do. Just my preference, to keep my cars fairly stock.

Hey, a little late to this but I can truly appreciate the time and effort that went into this. I actually like them, and don't think they look out of place, as if anything look "in place" on a Jaguar... The only other Lexus that I have seen those installed in were a 2nd Gen GS300, that has the VIP/Bippu style. Junction Produce makes a similar idea for the front passenger of the 2GS, possibly modify it to tie in the theme.

Here ya go.




I like the GS300 wheels on your clean LS, not to thrilled about the color scheme though. Good luck, and keep the mods coming.

Props to you, well executed. I was going to use those tables in mine, but i decided to make my own. I also made a center cup holder that sits on th tranny tunnel-will post pics when i get a chance.

Hey, FWIW, here's a shot of where those nice picnic tables came from!

Actually I think yours are from an X308, '98-'03. Mine's older. But still beautiful burled walnut all the way around the cabin.

Agree ,this mod is a finishing detail , not a starter mod on a stock car.
Reminds me of high heels and sweat pants .
