90s Japanese Luxury Car Purchase Dilemma Solved: Going VIP!

Back in September, I wrote about my search for a 1990s Japanese luxury car as a daily driver, with the Infiniti Q45, Lexus LS400, and Acura RL as the main contenders. Five months later, I've made my choice. It's a 1997 Coach Edition Lexus LS400 in nice shape, 120,000 miles. Man, this car has class.. The reason I'm getting this LS is to allow me to immobilize my '92 Civic long enough to swap the Integra GS-R engine into it, which means I won't be doing any customizing that takes it out of commission for long periods. That doesn't mean I'll be leaving it dead stock, of course…
I've become fascinated by the Japanese VIP Style fashion for car customization, spending a lot of time looking at the Junction Produce site and various Japanese VIP car publications. I won't be doing anything particularly radical to my Lexus in terms of ride height or suspension mods (I want it to ride the way Toyota intended), but I will need some better wheels, and Celsior grille and badges… and a fusa.
