But look how chewed out his fender is. You would have to do the metal flaring like Anis to pull it off properly.
Its not cause of the fitment its cause hes a drifter and flared them all crappy.You know how they roll.Its their "thing." If I get metal work on mine I want it more noticeable than Anis.His is maybe 1inch 1-1/2? I would want it atleast 2-1/2.

Here is a 1989 LS400

http://www.dolce-cc.com/sedan/

The rear I would opt for a different one since it looks a little funny.The front looks oem for sure.

I believe it. You can tell the proportions are off. Its a nice kit but the sides look anemic compared to the front and rear. That's like the 3rd gen gs swap front end made for a second gen.

You can really only tell by the side window profile.Compare it to a real LS460.



Costs will depend on how cheap you find the parts used.The hood might be straight bolt on then you just fit the headlights with custom metal work.Trunk might line up too.I know the 99 LS400's have bolted up LS430 hoods too.

You guys see the white old school with conversions?













I like it better than the black one.There is lots of LS430 conversions on older ones too.
