Thumbs up

Andy, your LS is looking super super sweet

Thank goodness no more cell phone pics-your LS doesn't deserve it

I have a couple of questions:

1. Are the chrome door handle caps/covers? If they are, do you feel the edges when you open your door?
2. Seems like it covers the smart key rubber tabs on the door handle-yes?

3. Last, do you have a BROADWAY rearview mirror over your OEM????????

Oh, is your dynamic cruise still functional with those 2 bars in front of it?
Carson sells the opening in the trademotion link. You can cut those 2 bars and put the cover over to expose the dynamic.

I bought it from Carson for $20 earlier on, but the Anceltion kit covered it

Thanks!

To answer your question:
1. The chrome handle covers are perfect fitment, and mine have 4 holes for smart key. I don't feel the edges when I open the door, love them so far.

2. There are 3 kinds of chrome covers, 1 with 1 hole only for driver door. 1 with 2 holes for front doors, and one for 4 holes with smart key.

3. Yes. I had to use it to hold my JP Kintsuna. Well, it works.

The cruise control still works, I plan to keep it this way since I think without the cutout, the front bumper looks cleaner.

Even at that height, how is the ride quality?

Also, did you have to modify the fenders on the fronts? I'm running 20x8.5 +20 and they rub when I try to pull into a driveway.

I use sport setting too, not really harsh, but def. more stiff than stock.

But I kind of like it!

I didn't modified the front, I forgot my front offset.

I was trying to add 10mm spacers in the front to make it flush, but with my 245-35-20 tires, it rubs a little
already.

Just gt bored and really hate how my stock 4300K HID look along with my 8000K fogs. Installed 8000K D2R ( Yes d2r, I know the stock is DSR, but D2R fits too!) into low beans...

Now they look like even color!!!
