Proof that buying cheaper parts in good taste can pay off.

My favorite part is the really illegal chrome tint on every window lmao literally the best looking thing on white cars

This should be a series. You should do the narration of your breakdown of others' builds alongside the owner.

It's something I've thought about tbh!

Pre-liked and looking forward to this. Owned my 98 LS400 for a couple months now and am loving it, can't wait till I have it murdered out like this one. Love from New Zealand ✌

Yo did you ever end up doing much to ur LS?

@ImportRacer4Life 4 года назад

Really liked the way this whole video was filmed and I actually was curious on how you got the audio sounding so good lol but I’ve always like the ls400’s and it’s been awesome seeing this go from just your basic looking car into what you’ve made it into today. Really looking forward to seeing where you take it in 2020. But you also made a lot of good points in the end like not taking a build too far and keeping your car drivable and usable. But big fan of this style of video and also that clip of you airring out while driving is fucking wild lol

@denniss-r1660 4 года назад

I feel the same as you when you said you don't want to change too much on your car. I got an E30 bagged on 16" (3piece) and mostly rebuild original parts that looked bad, only exception being original special-edition sideskirts+frontlip. I don't know what else to do other than maybe tryhard a new interior but that would just be for the sake of changing something. Anyways sick car and vid als always!

Your LS is gorgeous Bro. Even with the little imperfections. I have a silver 2000 LS up here in Canada and I cherish it. Love what you did with the front bumper. Where I live you need a front plate though🙄. Anyway, mad props on your build. Peace to all the Lexus lovers worldwide.🌎 1UZ for life Y’all!🔥☝️🔥

Bruh! Let me just say the ride is lit. Your taste and style is a goal for me and many others. What would help your videos even tho I/we appreciate your "realness" is alil bit more enthusiasm.....just a bit more to fuel the unfortunates. What you possess here is a mobile art gallery......all I see is beauty. I know that we get so use to things after a while but, just so you know I have shared this video to almost all my friends....including aunts and uncles without you asking me too, lol. Soo...look up man...to us Enthusiast...your an icon in the VIP Stance world. I'm now tryna get my first ls400 bt,......that paycheck to paycheck lifestyle....sucks. which is why this is a dream. Keep em coming my yute.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the car community it’s that all the best cars have subtlety done custom work vs cheap bolt on shit that make people think rice, so rice isn’t so much what you put on ur car(tho it still is) it’s also abt how much effort and time was put into the car

@Cleanshotsb4uno 9 месяцев назад

Love it. I just prefer the original front of the LS400 not feeling the bug eye look like a IS 300 or Toyota altezza, it screws the body line front to back. The original LS 400 is still the best looking LS model imo. All thanks to Mr Kazuo Okamoto vision. Ps I own the ls and ls 430 and I think the original box boy head lights look better on the 430 I'm doing it now, so try not....wow now that I have had a closer look at the head light and tag light....it's horrible the lenses don't align the interior fitment of the Led cluster looks like Sonics back and the cut out on the fender is painful to look at, let alone the big ass gap inside the marker housing on the bottom right. Omg who ever made these for you? I would need my $ Back low standards are ho standards.

@mattmonti6960 3 года назад

the ls400 is great .. But 430s are getting cheaper ( currently own one) and they are generally a nicer looking car ( especially vip style) with an upgraded 3uz engine. Not shaming 400 owners just stating my opinion.

@kayagocebe315 3 года назад

The 01-03 430's look like a blob. 04-06 might be the nicest Lexus LS design there is, but they're not exactly close to LS400 prices.

@mattmonti6960 3 года назад

@@kayagocebe315 I Disagree. The "blob" headlights are what gives the car its early 21st Century Japanese look a and they make the car standout. My family is fortunate to own both 2004 and The 2001 model and they both have the same lighting capacity. The 5speed trany on my 01 is also more robust id have to say.
