OMGwut.

Drove down to n1njai's (Justin) house to "work" on our cars with his friend. I moved on from the GS300 pretty quick and picked up a LS400, loving it so far and I'm pretty content on the car for a long ways to come. Just thought I'd share since I still got plenty of love for the community!

My new whip:







TL = too low?



I personally think blacked out housings on a 99-01 looks sexy if executed correctly. Is it played out on 02-03's? Yes. Do you see black housings often on a 99-01? Nope. Black housings and black grill makes it look so much more aggressive. Sorry for the crappy pics, camera sucked at picking up lighting in the dark, didn't want to use flash.

well you doesn't equal the whole 2gtl community haha. it's easy for some, hard for others. it's the risk factor of ruining their only set of headlights.

i do. just going to get some megan coilovers and slam it for now. i'm more worried about maintenance since the car does have 162k miles. so after coilovers, i'm gonna be replacing parts!

the 98-00 LS really reminds me of my '03 tl-s. it has the reverse tilt mirror and a pretty good sound system (not as good as the bose on the tl though). i thought i downgraded from the GS to an LS, but in my own case, it was actually an upgrade. i love v8 power!

the mark levinson system is for the latest models for the LS.. they had the nakamichi sound system for the 98-00's, and i didn't have that option. but for stock, it still sounds pretty decent.
