thanks for the comments guys!!
Forgot to add these pics, this is my LS460 "Nike" light. The LS has this unique Nike swoosh shaped light in the headlight housing, but they put the dull 194 bulb in there..so I played around with LEDs and they weren't bright enough, so I just went with a bigger 921 bulb normally used for reverse lights in the amber color.
This is what the 38 tower LED bulbs looked like in the Nike light, looks bright, but not unless real dark out

Love the LS in general and what you've done to it. My favorite Lexus right now, even including the LFA.

whoa - those are bright as hell! the ultimate mod is rewiring the DRLs to work with the fogs. but its a bit tricky.
im a huge fan of JDM style yellows on lexus. like what youve done...
heres my setup:
city lights/drls/fogs all noyka hyper yellow, and the halogens swapped to some high-end superwhite halogen, forget the name...prob. should have gotten the HID kit tho.

GREAT wheels, man! There's nothing like a good 5-spoke wheel to set this particular car off. Great choice.

Again, very tasteful and a big improvement on the wheels.
Yes, there is a hybrid that gets some funky lights
TM - I know you were worried about the grill color being off but I think it looks pretty good but is that emblem white too? Go silver IMO

Gas mileage on this car is ridiculous. I don't have a hybrid 600 model, but on the highway I average 28 to 30 mpg if I keep it under 80mph, would be a touch better without the 20s..the 8 speed transmission keeps rpms low. I drove from Oviedo FL to the NW suburbs of Atlanta on one tank and put close to 560 miles on it until i had to fill up..amazing..my TL gets around 27 mpg..go figure.

So, I decided to lower the car on the Tanabe NF210 springs. The car rides stock but you know you are dropped when hitting turns, braking or accelerating. It is by far the best coil springs I have ever had and I have owned Eibach, Suspension Techniques, and H&R Sport (still have those on my TL and love em)
So, here are some recent pics with the new drop. About 1.5" up front and .08" in rear...enough to take the fender gap out!!

It looks more like a car wash place than a detail shop, Jimmy.
And Chris, when are you going to post pics of the Vossen?

That LS is very nicely done. Really like those cars; like what you've done even better.
