Default New LS400 owner from North Carolina

Well been browsing the forum and decided to finally make a thread. Back in September I removed all the aftermarket parts from my old car sold my previous car stock. I then scoured the intrernet looking for a GS series or an LS series. I finally found a clean 2 owner 1999 LS400 about 10 miles away at a dealership. It had 135k miles, most records, 2 owners. After driving it and haggling with them I drove off in my newly acquired Lexus for $7000.

So far I have loved every minute of driving the car. All the small features and creature comforts are amazing.





Knowing I couldn't leave it stock I started my search for parts. First off I found some true 3piece SSR wheels, with tiresfor $700 so i went and picked those up. Then last Thursday I ordered a D2 Airride Kit which should be here in the next couple of weeks.





So I guess this will be an intro/build thread.

Thanks a lot. I like the wheels a lot also. I just want to later on down the road redo them to have a bigger lip but they will do for now.

Nothing really new to post. I did receive my D2 Airride setup after waiting 2 weeks on Friday and hopefully installing it next week. I also have a picture of my car dirty but it shows off the window tint I had done the other week. 15% all around and 50% on the entire front windshield.
