Kevin's 93' Ls400 AYEEEE

[KEVIN.E]

A work in progress, all maintenance and work done by myself. Originally got the car bone stock with front end damage from a wrecking yard before it went to auction. Been through some phases but now it's really starting to get where I want it to be. Since this is my first car it has been a real learning process. Some semi recent photos of my last setup

I had the RPF1s powdercoated in a color called Lazer Rootbeer and they're 19x9.5 +22 (225/35s) and 19x10+22 (235/35s), but they are sold now and I have some new units. Moving down to 18s! 18x10 up front and 18x11 out back.

its already on BCs, the only thing pending is me fitting the wheels and acquiring tires. I'd say get the ls400, its a real comfortable car and reliable, but with the rising price of gas its kinda spendy. And there's hardly any aftermarket as well, so finding parts or doing stuff custom is a hassle.

thanks for all the compliments guys, here's a few photos of the RPF1s finish for anyone wondering, it's really dynamic and looks different in all types of lighting. I'm going to miss them slightly, but the new wheels are waaaay more gangster
