Finally I get around to doin this. Been wanting to post pics up for awhile. I did the conversion pics and everything! BIG Thanks to GATO and vietdeluxx for the help...also my dad was there to participate a bit. Using his shop as well....Anyways its been a long journey....., I know the LS430 thread needed some new hype...... Enjoy

I know you guys are probably not a big fan of VIP on this forum...but wanted to share...

Oh.....and here to confirm the parts needed:

Front:

Hood (also the grille that comes w/ it)

Fenders

Headlights

Front Bumper (w/ fogs)

Headlight Support from 04-06

Rear:

Trunk (trunk bar if it didn't come w/ it)(emblems which I believe are a little diff)

All 4 piece tailights

***and you really don't need the rear bumper*** But it looks better IMO, but of course in my pics I skipped it and got a kit...

Let the pics begin:

Very nice! I remember someone converted a 97 to a 98-00 once but this is the first LS430 conversion I've seen.

Nice job. :cheers: Any interior/engine work?

None....I like the color of my wood grain...its that dark cherry look which didn't come w/ the 04-06 options

Well I can say I got a very good deal for it.....very good deal... It was a lot of work.....but worth it to me.
