This build was started as a build for my wife.  She told me she wanted me to build her something pink so I went through my stash of kits and decided on this ls430.  Originally it was going to be an out of the box build slap some pink paint on it and be done with it.   I  got the body prepped for paint and then decided to  go another direction so back in the box it went.   After finishing my wife's project I got back to work on this with the same plan only with a color change (weeeelll that didn't work).  The wheels are revell integra type R centers in pegasus aluminum sleeves and the tires from the lexus kit. The interior has been decked out with flocking for the floors the rear seat arm rest was cut out and i made an actual arm rest.  I then scratch built a full set vip trays and painted them to look like they are made of wood.   The trunk was designed to  open so i didn't want it to be empty.  I made a full airbag setup with a mirrored enclosure for the two compressors plumbed to a scratch built aluminum tank mounted to a wooden trunk floor to match the the vip trays inside.   So this is my simple VIP project that turned not to be so simple. Screenshot_2018-01-16-13-35-46-1.png.0b846c23241ddfab37a4c6adad2ac3c8.png20180113_203756.thumb.jpg.720d6a35c836f2b968ccfedbaa4f5be9.jpg20180113_203747.thumb.jpg.f5d247f9742c65976becea07dc5d0da4.jpg20180113_203840.thumb.jpg.40baffa51efce8cbf94ac312509f7d55.jpg20180113_203820.thumb.jpg.3e47074bb6acc86d7694abe1a59d6044.jpg20171105_103337.thumb.jpg.dba1aacc4362324c18a685d003918ad5.jpg20171104_210326.thumb.jpg.1b7ae6f0fbd9812c2d4576fbfa6634e0.jpg

Good to see something different. I like it.

Great job all round, interior definitely got the VIP look with all the wood grain, and done well with air set up in the trunk.
