how about wald? i think it's still the best choice of all.

lsportline is ok. but honestly, i think it's a bit boring, doesn't look vip and classy enough.

exclusive, i don't like the front much... the extra "hole" at the bottom lip looks very weird to me, and it's going to be very obvious on your car.

i think autocouter (the one that uses the stock fogs) and the admiration are both pretty ok too. but among all the kits, i think the wald is my top choice

this is so funny, i don't even have the ls430, but i like the car so much that i go out and study the aftermarket stuff for it so bad!

When you're talking about VIP parts, I guess chrome is the standard? So replace the door handles with the JDM chrome kind, and you'll be on your way

WALD is not wild enough......I was thinking Balsarini, but gotta save up first.

As for the tint, I'm not really a dark window driver. Maybe for the past 12 years I've been driving cars without tint windows.........I get insecure & nervous driving a car with tint windows (i know I know, I'm lame )

Excuses, it's because you don't wanna keep the girls from checkin' you out when you roll by.

well, on my cars i wouldn't get dark tint too. usually i just go 45% or at most 30%. i think that's some very nice touches to the car

oh you want something wild? gosh now i have to go back and look at the vip car catalog again. i am more into the classy design for the car that's why most of the kits i mentioned are very subtle

how about toms? i think they are pretty wild?

My tastes run more conservative and to me, what you've done is fine. Some things I would do: de-emblemize, new grill (the old Toyota's all you had to do was take the embem off...now it leaves a hole. ) and tint. The tail lights if you want also.

While I'll agree that a body kit rounds out the look, it also brings on a gawk factor which attracts the types I don't want. YMMV. Of course it is your car so...

The Mrs. is looking forward to seeing it this weekend...
