fly_s2k's Lexus LS460 Build
It's been a long long time since I've posted anything worth while, but I wanted to share my recent build with everyone. I am still an S2000 owner, but this one is an addition to the stable 
. It isn't much, but I am very pleased with how everything came together. Hope you all enjoy as much as I did!
The day I brought it home - 2009 LS460 SWB/RWD in Opaline White Pearl.
I really didn't care for the wheels much, so I decided to put some 20" AG 310's on the car to give it a better stance.
Clearly the car definitely needed to be lowered. Decided to go with the Tanabe NF210 springs since my objective was to maintain as much of the ride quality as possible. Coilovers may be in the future, but I haven't been able to get concrete answers about a set that offers the same plush/comfortable ride quality.
Since the car already has wonderful brakes, I figured I'd spruce it up a bit. Went with overslotted rotors and painted/decaled the calipers.
At this point, this is what the car looks like:

Although I've always loved the LS460, the front aero was never really to my liking. It wasn't until I saw the Black Pearl kit, that made me pull the trigger on buying the car. So buying the car was contingent on me buying the complete aero kit. After buying the car, I immediately placed an order for the kit before I actually bought anything else....
The kit arrived Mid February this year
Some pics of my paint guy doing some minor fitting/testing:
Once the paint was done, I had the roof wrapped in glossy black. And swapped out for LED rear tail lights.
