Birth of the LS430R - A Pictorial
I'm not quite finished with my project but I've finally completed enough to the point that I thought it would be a good idea to post some pics and get some feedback. Below is a pictorial of what has been completed so far starting from the front and going to the back. All comments (positive and negative) are welcome.
8500K Fog Lamps to Match the Headlights
Blacked Out Grill - "Menacing"
F5 Air Intake by Fujita Engine Cover is Painted Red to Match Calipers and Air Intake
Cross Drilled Rotors & Custom Calipers The Calipers Are RED and Not... "PINK".
Tom's Racing Emblem / V8 Emblem UPDATE - Tom's Emblems have been removed due to delaminating.
Tom's Racing Lip Spoiler
Flowmaster Exhaust Tips
LS430R Emblems
In the not too distant future I will be posting more pictures of the following mods....
- Staggered 20" Wheels, Lowered Suspension, Magnaflow Exhaust and who knows what else may come....
(A special "Thank You" to "Tee" and "GSoup" for the guidance on posting multiple photos at once.)

Thanks for the comment. All I have is this one from when it first came out of the shop from having the grill painted and the spoiler put on...
At this point some of the mods weren't complete yet.
Thank you both for the comments. The Headlamps are 8000K HID D2S bulbs and the Foglamps are 8500K 9006 Bulbs, both from EuroDezigns. (They are both DOT approved and safe for your car. You can find them here...
D2S - https://www.eurodezigns.com/shop/detail.aspx?ID=137
9006 - https://www.eurodezigns.com/shop/detail.aspx?ID=79 (Blue is the 8500K color - 12V/55W))
Thanks again for the guidance and the comment. The pic above is the only one I have so far. I'm working on more and will post some others up soon.

Haha, I get that alot... (Pink) the photos don't do it justice. The cover is actually red. I had some leftover paint that was used on the calipers and I painted the engine cover to match the exhaust and the "R" on the rear emblem. Thanks for looking.

I like it all except: Tom's sticker (I hate to advertise for someone and it seems you only have the spoiler), and it needs to be dropped
The blacked out grill makes a real visual difference.

I got it cheap because I bought it used off an aquaintance. (In other words, a friend of a friend.) I only paid $75 for it and then paid another $75 to have it painted and installed. That was the first thing I bought that started all this domino effect of buying everything else. (It was actually made for a different year Lexus.)

Looks really good just need a bit of a drop and she will look even better. Not a big fan of stickers on cars but as long as you like them then that's all that matters.
Any idea what kind of rims you are gonna put on your baby?
Vellano Wheels has a wheel called VSC that you can get with a Black Face and polished edges which would look very cool with what you are creating. Here is a pic
