Been looking on the forum daily and have seen some super clean rides, gave me the extra push I needed to do the same. The clear corners were not what I ordered but I am thinking about getting the tail lights tinted so I will just get these clear ones done as well. Also added an air filter from LS Koncepts and love it. Going to get the SCT X3 (http://www.fastpartsnetwork.com/content/view/38/) soon opinions on this product are welcome, then do exhaust.

Also fixing to put in the kenwood kvt-815 indash and buy the KNA-G510 Nav for it. Rims will probably come next spring as I want it to look stock for a little while atleast.

Enjoy, comments/suggestions are welcome..

Nice and looks like its in good shape. I personally don't have the XCal3 yet but I plan on getting it real soon. You should be pleased with it. I did my exhaust first and I'm happy I did.
 
Nice rims. The 7 spoke chrome are hands down the nicest rims for the LS and pretty rare too.

Yes they are if they were the 17" chrome LSE wheels, those are 16's.

Your LS is VERY clean, looks great pelphrey!!!

I've always liked them in both sizes. That makes no difference to me.
 
With the XCal3... great product. I haven't gotten one yet. Just need a push to spend the 400 bucks. But the xcal is only as good as the person who does the tunes for you. There is more than one tuner around, but the two that it seems everyone uses around here are Torrie from fastpartsnetwork, and rob (ILLS on here) from KBX Performance. Rob has a lot of experience with the LS specifically, since he owns one and has done extensive work on his. Torrie has sold Xcals to many members here with little complaint.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.
 
Thanks for the comments!

So Should I do exhaust first, I am not going to do a full exhaust just yet if at all. I have noticed a lot of people have the magnaflows on their cars, I want something deep but also nothing really loud. Also I noticed a few people cut the bumpers to have the exhaust come out the back, I am stuck on wether I want it hidden or seen. Will the exhaust determine how the XCal3 is calibrated? I sent Torrie an email awhile back and he seemed very knowledgable from his reply so I am excited to get around to that mod soon I hope.

I have the full magnaflow kit and its not that loud once you put tips on it. The stock design had the exhaust hidden underneath the bumper and the sound would resonate off of the bumper and ground and back into the cabin. With exhaust tips my noise level went down to about 40% of what it was.

I have an XCAL2 (which is similar to the XCAL3) and it is a great device, but its only as good as the person who is tuning it. I originally went with Torrie 2 years ago...let's just say I'd give ILLS a PM instead if I were you
 
the car looks great, the exterior seems to be in great shape, just need to switch the UK to :gr_hail: KU and you'll be all set. have fun with the mods.
 
Thanks for all the comments folks. I am glad I found a forum finally with some good information that has a decent amount of traffic. I also joined LLSOC but never get on there, seems to be more traffic here. I have some plans for this it. I've had a hard time finding some 20'' rims I want. I don't want to go any smaller on the rims, I dont want much gap. Lowering this car is not an option, had a car lowered on springs before and hated it its either air or no way at all.

Thanks again for all the input, I will keep you all updated.
