Hello forum,

I recently bought this LS 460 about 6 months ago...

I am expecting a newborn soon so that kinda limited my funds for mods...

but i did manage to do the followings...

*22 inch savini staggered rims
*lowered with megan coilovers
*changed most of interior lights to LEDS
*HIDS for (daylight,low beams and fog lights
*2 jl w6 sealed plexi with LED enclosure powered by rockford 500.2
*hacked my dvd player so I can watch movies when driving
*puddle lights
*tinted the back half with 70 percent tint
*spoiler on the trunk

thats all I can think of right now but I like to do a little more...

Plans for the future....

*roof spoiler
*change out side mirrors with the ones that have signal lights in them
*ML plus( allows me to add a video and audio to the factory system


So I taking advises of what else I can do to it...I want it to look clean and classy...

Let me know what you think..all advises will be appriated..

Thanks

nice!! i like the mods you did!! have you thought about a body kit maybe??

BTW how hard was the install of the puddle lights, and what spoiler is that??

ericls460

The puddle wasnt too hard...i took off the side skirt with a couple 10 mm in the front and rear..some clips underneath the car..2 philips screws hidden within the rubber ..measured it evenly apart...wired it up paralled..and tapped it into my domelight...

I thought about the kit but my front end is too low...my wife also drives the car from time to time so maybe not a good idea..

The spoiler i got from ebay...

Thanks for the input

First off, NICE RIDE!! You definately pulled it off. Am I to understand that you changed the Daytime Running Lights to HID's? Now, I don't have an LS YET, but aren't those also the High Beam lights, just run at a lower wattage for daytime driving until you turn them on? Also, did you add the two JL W6's to the Mark Levinson system or the Lexus Premium Stereo. I've had W6 10's before, and wow. I was thoroughly impressed with them. Hope they're as good to you as they were to me. OBTW, NICE RIDE!!

@ hyper

cary, im pretty slow at the shop nowadays so whenever you have time, call me let me have a heads up and ill take care of it for you..np

@iceman

you are right about the daytime running lights..i pretty much had to adjust them so they wouldnt blind other people and i also put a switch in so i can have it on and off whenever i want..

i have 2 jl w6 in a sealed enclosure..lexus made the trunk very well so the bass didnt travel through as much as i thought..i would reccomend a bandpass box..and port it through the armrest..

thanks
eric

Back in the day when I had the JL W6's I had a Mitsubishi Galant. They were loaded in a bandpass box. I would just lay my seat down for more sound. Those two 10's were beasts though in the bandpass. I could only imagine if I had them in a FG enclosure molded in the trunk. For some reason a friend of mine had them "glassed" into his trunk, with the same amps etc, and it was a big difference. I hated him!!lol

Man I am loving the car. It looks amazing. The wheels and the stance set it off. I think the only thing you may want to do is a body kit. Anything else would be over kill

More pics! this is one of my favorite non-auto show LS 460's it would definately make me break my neck in traffic. What rims are those and do you have any more pics on the stereo install? Im trying to install a 10 in my 600h

@ lxurious

thanks...i forgot the model of the rims but they are savini 22 2 piece forged with 6 inch lip in the rear...

i will post more pics of the amp and box install tonight..

nothing too major..i built a sealed plexi box with stretched fabric(silver) and added LED strips to light it up...mounted the amp right on top of the speaker box then built a beauty board to covered it up
