STORY
Third time is a charm! My first attempt to start the LS430 VIP build came to a quick halt after I got rear-ended and the car was totaled. My second LS430 was going in the right direction, but was stolen only months after having it. And now, lives the Superfutura LS430 as it is known in the VIP car world.
The build began by ripping out the whole interior (black at the time), as I found a few hides of the magnolia yellowish cream leather used in Rolls Royces and Jaguars from the 1990s. The whole interior was reupholstered using the new Bentley style stitching, leaving an elegant soft look throughout. The wood grain pieces were taken to Houston for a piano black finish with vanilla pinstripes by OG.

OZ Racing Futuras were found on a local Audi forum, and so began the OZ Futura 20-inch custom re-build. All step lip outer rims are stainless steel and made in Germany. The outer rings are anodized teal to match the Futura Design big brakes. The front wheels are 20x9.75-inches and rears are 20x11.25-inches.
The Futura Design Teal big brake kit was essentially the reason in naming the car "Superfutura". The front brakes are 8 piston with 380 mm drilled rotors and 6 piston rears with 356 mm drilled rotors.

The aero kit is originally made by Vlene Japan but the front and rear have been modified to give a more modern look. The front aero kit has been molded to sport lower Porsche LEDs for both fogs and turn signals. The rear was also modified, giving it a sleek valance with custom tail pipes as seen on newer luxury sedans.
It’s supercharged! To take things to the next level, a GReddy roots supercharger was obtained. However, since Greddy never technically made it for the large sedan, it was taken to Jeff Tsai where custom fabrication began to make it work.

Fiber optics everywhere! As if the "stanced" big body sedan wasn't gaudy enough, the whole black suede headliner features a 400 twinkling fiber optic galaxy, which color change from bright white to teal, when twinkle. The trunk liner also features 200 fiber optic twinkling lights. 200 more fiber optic galaxy lights have been added to the hood liner as well.

Most of the modifications are custom one-of-a-kind things, including: headlight mods, doorsills etc. This car is continuously evolving. #Superfutura

FAVORITE MODIFICATION
It has to be the interior; so rich and soft, and of course unique. Just lay back and enjoy the sounds as the fiber optics twinkle from above.
