Wow it looks awesome. Way more aggressive. and I agree its amazing how lighter wheels can improve the feel of the car. Throttle response and accelerations are noticeably improved over the factory heavy ones.

What else is there left to do? exterior seems complete

Also just picked up a ls400 last night. very rare color combo...white/black. had to pick it up. drop and some wheels probably. got title transfer, tags and registered today.

Nice, How much did you pick up the LS400 for and how many miles? I just found a 2000 LS400 in white that has 56,000 miles selling for $11,800 and tempted to jump on it. Is the LS400 going to be your new DD?

thank you! it does look better in person. these wheels are very light even compared to the oem bbs which are more narrow and have new tires on these. i think it was a win win situation.

my toms rear diffuser is coming on monday , im going to have it recleared just to be on the safe side from fading down the road and my wald spoiler is being prepped and painted as we speak. i will hopefully have those on by next week or so.

Paul from PPE said my headers are running late. it's already been 5 weeks and hopefully i receive those in about a week or two, if any longer, i honestly can't recommend PPE. that's just too long for something made in the states.

4k with 200k miles. i know it seems like a lot but these cars go forever. Black interior is also rare. every single button on this car works, has original manuals, original unused spare, lexus logo tools and first aid kit. the engine is very very clean (not that armor all wipe down clean), owner said he never cleaned the engine bay but everything looks great. im falling in love with it already, im surprised how many luxury features it has compared to cars today.

i replied in your thread on clublexus btw, i was looking for one myself. it was either this or the gs300.

thanks steve.

[IMG]fitment was perfect, the molding for the surround keeps it from scratching the bumper and looks very neat and oem. i just hate they put that little sticker in the middle. they were a pain to get off. i had to buy some goo gone to get rid of the adhesive, as you can see in the pics, it couldn't even take all of it off, lol.

my friend owns is-f US Specs, he have ppe headers + borla exhaust + some intake maybe r2c, he want to tune it, and he spent hours of researching but no luck finding a tuner for the IS-F, in DynoJet the car got 388 HP.

There was an HKS exhaust and some PPE headers that were labeled for a IS-F at CIN motorsports.. thought they may have been yours. dont think they were though.

tell him soon, very soon. the intake most likely hurt his gains, he should be well over 400whp after being corrected.

weird, i was source the HKS exhaust because i wanted everything JDM but it's a heavier exhaust with less gains.

The only thing I don't like about these sedans are there aren't much legroom in the rear.
