This looks great! I've been sooo tempted to find a used LS Lexus and VIP it, just such a baller style car. Love the car man!

Yes. Yes that works nicely, the car looks beautiful.

Also, I see you have Kars 4 Kids billboards. Do you have their awful radio commercials as well?

Thanks!

They are actually the now defunct company whose rims should be all over craigslist right now, formally known as ADR. These are the M-classics. I love them, but I’m ready for something new. Too bad my wallet isn’t!

If i could find an LS430 in good condition with under 150k on it for like $7k, I'd jump right into it. They hold value so well though!

Love the lip. On bags? the rolling shot looks higher than the parked ones

the yellow lights add a nice addition of color

I would’ve addressed the broken suspension before aesthetics

Do you know what wheels you want next?

Im still saving and debating.

My first choice is the Leon Hardiritt Waffes

Kinja'd!!!

Second choice is the Work Varrianza D3s

Kinja'd!!!

But there are a lot of others i would consider. Like a 6 or 7 spoke wheel, the wheels I have now, with the combination of brake pads, makes the wheels a pain in the butt to clean!

I has a mind of its own sometimes!

It sits, it stands, on a rare occasion it plays dead. I havent taught it to roll over and i dont plan on teaching it anytime in the future! lol

nice. not a huge fan of cars that slammed but because its on air you can adjust it to your taste. Lip looks great tho

Yea!

The LS430 is the last big body sedan i would buy honestly.

Now the shapes are all streamlined and wedgey. Im not a fan.

Id rather get a 2nd or 3rd gen Odyssey or the new Sienna for the look i want out of a big ride.

But im rather odd. I love large and small cars. Next i hope to find a 68 to 74 Mini. If i cant find/afford one, I hope to get a fiat 500 abarth. I love me some miatas, crxs and s2000s and the like too...

Yea, I like lowered cars, but Im not so into slammed cars because i just imagine trying to drive those things around the hills or San Francisco.

I mean its just not very practical, even though it might look nice.

Thats why i got air, its the best of all worlds.

Stock when you want to drive normally, low when you want to cruise and be seen, high when you really need to get over those wacky super rare speed mountains, and slamed when parked.

At my set ride height, its as comfortable as stock, and i can firm up or soften the dampening with a few clicks, or stiffen or soften the “spring rate” with the tap of the app.

oh yea that's the way to do it. air ride has come a long way in the past 5-10 years and really improved

Nimbus The Legend - Riding on air like a cloud > TheD0k_2many toys 2little time
07/07/2016 at 12:32

It really has come a long way.

From manual valves and regulators to the accuair system, and even the new Airlift 3H system we installed on my buddy’s VW.

Its gone from having to buy so many pieces, to just an all in one kit with a handful of fittings.

Its kind of amazing the progress technology has made on these systems, especially thinking about how a lot of manufactures are using air aided suspension systems like Rovers from the factory....

oh yea and factory ones have a bad rap (range rover and Lincoln) seems like now you can find almost a kit for any car
