Junnie Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 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: before pics: THE CONVERSION: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW03ES Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Very nice! I remember someone converted a 97 to a 98-00 once but this is the first LS430 conversion I've seen. What did everything set you back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
