Car turned out sick bro: from motor, to body to painting the trim, you did some nice work, you must be so proud!

[@SmplBuilds]

Thanks so much bro!!

[@RyanCoomer]

at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corndogs thinking they were part of the buffet.

Sir

[@marquisdee1018]

Something is wrong with you but that is hilarious 😂

[@samjohnson2801]

Laughter is the best medicine

[@JohanGavieres]

My favorite food to eat at a Chinese buffet is the Chinese pizza and French fires.

[@MrLazlness]

I eated one of them hot dogs. It was 😋

[@fabianm4284]

Your videos inspire people’s creativity.

[@marioflow8281]

It's definitely got that late 90's hip-hop feel. 🔥

[@MrNWoods]

This car hauls ass. I remember my cousins dad had one ooof shit see yahhhh!!

[@imansshorts3232]

This is dope, I thought this was someone else’s car you were doing this work on but happy to hear it’s yours. Nice little switch from the focus. This is my dream car currently.

[@sharifsircar]

Apart from the bondo job...on a budget this was super neat! You could have gone with fiberglass filler if the goal was to get it done quickly and cheaply

[@itsvtrap]

Beautiful finished project, loved following the build.

[@PaulNicolau]

I think the wheels transform the car from a grandpa car to a nice well taken care of car. Lightly modded. Tasteful. Maybe headlights and taillights upgrade would be better? But overall great

[@noahfunny2915]

I agree it’d look flawless with new head/taillights

[@evil1st]

@@noahfunny2915 You could just spray paint or plastidip the chrome headlight backplates to go from chrome to black and give it a modern LED look. Its a pain in the butt though. Also a taillight tint would be cheap too.

[@taliesinangling3564]

@@evil1stare they projectors?

[@manny_daily]

Looks great, it would be cool to see it even more VIP'd out with like the fancy curtains and interior jobs you see sometimes haha

[@09labss]

well since it is a budget build, that is quite optimistic, but i see where ur coming from

[@anthony-vu1dn]

love the ls custom interior designs

[@wordisbond7603]

None of that please 😶 Especially a chandelier

[@eddiethetruhead]

You are inspiring me to get my 2000 LS400 lookin clean the way it deserves to be Bro. Awesome transformation. Love the wheel choice.👍 Lorinser D93?🤔 Stunning ride. Well played Sir.👏👏👏 Peace to all the Lexus lovers worldwide.🌎 1UZ for life.☝️

[@stona2705]

I could watch people restoring these Japanese Luxurious cars all day. Very well done.

[@sweetwheet5113]

The flow and editing of this video is top tier, I could watch this all day regardless of the content!

[@titankooyman3638]

Great video! I loved the way the car turned out. Did it bother anyone else that the calipers and control arms didn't seem to get painted black?

[@ryanclottey3822]

Looking to buy one myself and follow this build to make mines look clean

[@Suzuki1000MB]

Very nice build, glad these cars are getting the love they deserve. I have the SC400 which I plan on doing the same. Nice clean look and 6 speed conversion

[@ylariovisco9787]

Its incredible how you did all this in 10 minutes

[@ayyubjackson]

💀

[@paulstark2102]

Nice! Very impressed. It is cool that you put in some time to tackle a different type of project as well. Putting on the suit at the end was a nice touch.

[@SuperHyper-_]

Turned out amazing! I see loads of cars like this one every day and imagine myself doing this.

[@bagofsoup8199]

cool to see people watching a sick build and no one complaining about it being auto

[@akmsalmon200]

This boat is freaking fire man, love the build

[@Ryan-ji5kw]

Just a heads up maybe later down the road but they have replacement “chrome” trim you can buy instead of having it sprayed over. Turned out hella good man.

[@someone7773]

Really? Where do they sell this?

[@gnarsk]

The black looks way better than chrome

[@omarsharieff7859]

Car looks so dang good man! Well done 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@jacksinsel8798]

Your ride is pimp bro. I just got my 2000 LS 400 in Imperial Jade Mica. Love it! Little by little I will build my vip as well!

[@esschuele6336]

This is definitely a dope and inspirational build. Makes me that much more motivated to do my next two projects

[@Stanleyraf]

I personally would leave the paint original

[@llookktt]

I could see the original color but the paint was in terrible condition

[@SheenylHassan]

I think the best way to have a nice car is to keep it looking nice. Very good job, love what you did to it.

[@seedeebun]

I would suggest longer finished video shots. It’s like all this anticipation and build up and you give us a quick flash 5 second video at the end. Give us more!

[@AznYaj420]

Loving the contents brotha keep them coming we will keep supporting 💯👌

[@АндрейЯрощук]

Уважение таким парням !!=) 👍 такую красоту сотворили, и обслуживание подвески и колёса новые классные!!

[@Genkaku]

Wow this is some amazing work! The car turned out wonderfully ♥️

[@jovannigarciacruz9756]

this video was mad dope, good job👍🏽

[@PACKERMAN2077]

I've always wondered how these compilations are most effectively edged and then I realize that with the recent KZbin features you can see the analytics in real time which frames are most replayed so you probably went through each original episode and cut only the most freeze frame shots, Unused those ingenious I might say but something that wouldn't have never been possible 5 years though even.

[@bulletz4beckfas_.264]

This video really inspired me to get one and create a clean build for these kind of cars it looks great ❤

[@SuperMetalFiend]

Respect on trying to fix that body damage.

[@Kesdaproducer]

Yeah you killed it bro. that is 🔥 10/10 best vip budget build, I’m inspired

[@JoshuaDuartes]

You killed this one man!

[@chba2285]

Looks dam good, you can't ever go wrong with an LS

[@ShawnFayles]

Love it bro, so clean especially for a budget build, great job

[@LawrenceGerman]

This was a great video. The car was an excellent choice and everything that went on and into this was top notch. Maybe upgrade the ball joints next? But she sittin clean AF and pretty too. 🎉🎉

[@stuntin732]

Sick budget build!! What’s that I see a clear street downtown…Sick cinematically of it at the end! Did you go out on a Sunday?

[@Officialflacolow]

Came out dopeee man seen all of the vids on this build Fs came out cleannn🔥

[@TJHall]

Incredible job man 🔥

[@mickeyd6576]

Can’t wait to see the projects when this channel finally blows up bro 👏👏

[@BigDaddy_CoolDiesel]

Great stance and build is super clean!

[@JoshuaSousan]

Sorry it took so long to watch, I was at school, love the car, not the biggest fan of VIP but you did great on this!

[@donfrancis1375]

Love this! Similar how I want mine stance wise. Not a scrappy boi aha. Was the wrap glittered? Mirrors looked solid black. If you wanted matching, Nissan Mica black is exact match. Same sun reflecting etc. Awesome though man what's next?

[@ELGG1894]

Absolute fire, great job!

[@milobest1073]

Still crazy you picked this up for 2k!

[@AM-tc8bg]

Great build man I know about JCC, I’m from NJ (Essex) and have a 90 LS400. Probably will go past each other one day.

[@MannyDemaga]

I want one so bad 😮‍💨 that build is fresh asf

[@user-bi7fp4zi2c]

final results are so sick! 🔥🔥🔥

these are good cars. i have a 1996 that i got for $4,000 in 2017 and i have daily driven it ever since.

This is so clean! I’m ready to play with mine like this

[@abrahamkhan8343]

Gorgeous work! 👏👏👏

[@johnnybell9655]

I'm surprised they didn't wash or paint the brake calipers!

[@omegafm11115]

Super “ CHAMAKI “ 🔥

[@WARVIATION]

I want to buy one of these, they look soo cool and not outdated they just look classic and not too like an old people car

[@legotechnicbrother3367]

Great work!

[@mcbraxy3664]

Please sand and wash and wrap/paint the calipers next time would complete the build even more great vid as always

[@east83music]

turned out super clean bro 👌🏽🤙🏽

[@RCashTRO30]

I always had a soft spot for these square body Lexus. they were way ahead of their time. I like that you kind of kept the rims period correct cause those were popular back in the day. Very nice. I was a little disappointed in that fender repair. I know it's a budget and all but how much could a new 20+ year old Lexus fender be? Then I saw you wrapped it, and I wasn't as disappointed cause it kind of made sense but... I still wouldn't have done a better repair regardless. And I know you can 100% have done better which is why I'm saying something

[@alexw2112]

Clean as always my boi

[@luisandmariabonini3285]

Final product is amazing good job

Good work, dude !! What type of front lip did you use for your setup ? Thx

[@hecmo316]

you killed that!!!

Were those the lifters you fixed? I have a ls400 I wanted to buy but it has a bad lifter and idk how to fix it. I heard it was like a 1000 dollar fix too.

BEAUTIFUL. My ONLY gripe is hang that tree on the signal lever instead of the mirror 😂

[@akinoyoko2121]

nice build, great editing

[@Mcali1984]

I don’t ever watch videos over 10mins. This one was worth it. And motivated me to sell the 3GS and get a 430 to VIP. Such a Beautiful LS400 bro. Might have to sub if you do these. Amazing video. 🍻

Where can I get one of your simple build stickers?

[@armin1022]

So clean 😮‍💨

[@evil1st]

Went from being a 70 year old grandma who drives this thing to Bingo night to a rich Japanese street racer who drives it to and from the local performance shop and his personal garage. edit: Japanese Nissan Cima's and Lexus/Toyota Celsior's are pretty affordable too. You can pick them up from local import dealers for $8,000 to $15,000 depending on the condition and miles. A RHD VIP build would be insanely dope to take to a car meet. If done as good as this you would have the whole parking lot around your build.

[@bertrandpigeon326]

Nice ! Love the LS400's noise.. Front rotors mouting is wrong, you shall shift the left and right sides

[@SmplBuilds]

The internal vanes decide the direction of the rotor not the external slots

[@bertrandpigeon326]

@@SmplBuilds only if they have an angle compared to the radius, which does not seem to be the case on the video

[@SmplBuilds]

@@bertrandpigeon326 these rotors have straight cut vanes...

[@bertrandpigeon326]

@@SmplBuilds therefore the vanes are not deciding the direction of the rotors in your case, but the holes and grooves direction should aim at using cetrifugal force to evacuate gases and dusts don't you think ?

In my opinion looks nicer than 90% of ls because 90% are all wayy to slammed. It should just ride comfortably like yours
