Default Check out my WALD LS430 (might have to go up for sale)

* Edit: Sad day... car might have to go up for sale. Stay tuned in the For Sale Section.

Hi all. I have been slowly working on my LS430 since buying it last January. You probably saw pics of it before with just the wheels and the air ride controller as my mods. I have since purchased a complete Wald Exec. Line body kit from Jon @ Jonari. This was the kit used on their LS430 show car. I have also added an Anceltion rear roof wing.

The Wald exhaust is sitting in the garage just waiting to be installed (will probably get to it sometime next week). Also next on the list will be updating the rear tail lights.

*Update - Wald exhaust installed.

Anyway, just wanted to share pics of my car. Hope you enjoy.

That's what I say, looks like a proper modded luxo barge. Good job.

Nice job on the clean execution. One thing that worries me is the ladder that's hanging directly above the car...maybe park the LS on the other side of the garage?

Thanks all for the compliments. I was really going for the subtle look and didn't want to go too agressive on the kit. I think that's what WALD does a great job on. Anyway, I will post updated pics once I have the exhaust and updated tail lights installed.

EXE.UCF10 - Heh, that ladder is secured and someone who weighs 200lbs can even hang on it and the bracket holding it won't give. I made sure.

juniorEXE - The controller is set at F:8 / R:3. Hope this helps.

Madmax96 - That's why I bought the '99 Corolla.

just curious, do you set your car high when you drive it then? i always wonder, if you adjust these often, would it put a lot of tear and wear on the system?

No, the setting I have is what I use for driving. I try not to mess around too much with the air controller for the reason you mentioned that it might put a lot of wear and tear on the system. I do have my suspension set to "Sport" to give it that "firmer" ride and reduce the "floating" feel.

What are the specs of your wheels if you don't mind me asking?
