I did a little listing on excel and added the money I've dropped in it so far with mods and maintanace/fixing. I also did a total of it with future mods a plan on doing and cost. so far I've dropped 5000 in it. Looking at another 5000 to do the rest of the mods. Man this car is taking my wallet for a joy ride!!!! Man, instead of all those mods I could've gone with the super. Oh well.

I honestly don't even want to add up how much I've put into the LS... especially since I'm still not driving it at the moment.
Its so easy. I am almost embarrassed to go into detail.
I took 1/2" plywood. Cut the floor piece first. Then did the two sides with 1'2" plywood. The sub beauty board, I used a piece of cardboard to get the shape right. Traced it out on a peice of 1/8" panelling. I had to use thin 1/8" panelling. Because I needed to bend it to get into place. The sub grille covers holds it in place. The right corner where the gas tank tube is. I used a piece of carpet shaped to cover that area.
Went to an upholstery shop. Color matched the the interior for some vinyl and carpet. Wrapped everything using 3M spray-on adhesive and a staple gun. Everything fits nice and tight. No screws. I can take the floor and sides out in about 30 seconds. Still have easy access to my spare tire and battery. Whole install cost me less then $100.
They are LSKoncepts angel-eye headlights with clear corner lights. If your headlights have the grey sealent. You can heat them up and take them apart. Then do the angel-eye install. LSKoncepts sells the light kit to do it.
I didn't realize how much I've put in it until I added it up. Half the stuff you can't even see. Its my first car and I'm spoling the heck out if so far. Man, my friend got a g37 and all he talked about was I can do this to my car, I can do that, this mod and that mod, my car is so fast, yada yada. So far all he has done in a year since he got it is gotten some knn replacement filters and some cheap plastic mesh grill. I should smack him for all that talk and no action.
Its factory. Autumn Red paint code "GT". It has some pearl in it. Really makes the paint "explode", when the sunlight hits it. On an overcast day, it looks like a root beer color. Very flat and boring.
same here
Do I get my car's paint corrected ever? Not sure what this means. I have no swirls. I hand wash with a whirl glove. No abrasives touch my LS. Microfiber. Nothing else. I won't even let my wife or kids near it. I will get some outside up close pictures tomorrow for you.
Here are a few pictures I have on my computer right now for close ups.
