How do you guys like it? Do you regret not saving for the LT? I'll be buying a 2011 LS soon but the RS package is so enticing, i just don't have the cash for it though. Also what interior did you get and how do you like it? Thanks Guys

I got black on black, love it... Kinda wish i had foglights to put AAC colored halos in them tho... Besides that. No regrets!

I was so tempted to get the LS but the RS was just too cool to pass up lol. Not to mention its alot harder to add HID's later though i wish the wheels would have been 18" but the same design. Would have meant cheaper tires and less mass to try and rotate. Still though it's a 3K difference which is substancial. Really i would have liked the 2LT if leather was optional and cost a bit less.

i bought the ls in silver ice mettalic and its all black cloth i love it i dont like leather and the few extras upper models have I can do without or purchase later. I bought a set rally stripes on ebay for like 1/10th the price as for darker tail lights on rs i just tinted all my lights, front rear marker, rear brake turn signals reverse lighst. i have the bracket for front emblem in grille bought on ebay for 6 dollars and bought egeal eye headlights which have projectors and halos no the rs ones but i loves these just as much all for under 500 dollars, only other upgrades im looking for are a good set rims and engine and exhaust mods which there is no difference in motor tranny or exhaust from ls 2 2lt models. I say buy the LS and love it

how is the black interior? Does the black side panels completely match the rest of the interior or does it stand out a little?

Did you install the lights yourself or did you take it to a shop? I don't think i can do that work myself.

yellowlightning2009 · 03-11-2011, 09:36 PM

I installed th e lights myself in my drive way not that hard really just look it up on you tube and search threads here on egeal eyes few good ones, picked up set on ebay for around $360 and added a hid kit. the bacl carpet head liner and seats match good and with the plastic clean and useing a good interior cleanr like armor all ultra shine its not perfect but looks great id get few pics but the car is currenty stored for winter

Ace159 · 03-11-2011, 09:45 PM

how much do you think fog lights will run me?

ShadoChaser · 03-11-2011, 10:41 PM

CGM here, and I love it! No Regrets at all! I bought what I could afford, and didn't put myself in debt for it.

Ace159 · 03-11-2011, 10:45 PM

Where did you get the 4 pack gauge cluster?

Bowtiepower00 · 03-11-2011, 10:51 PM

Love my LS. Didn't want the LT, or RS. Only other model on my Radar was the 1SS, but I couldn't justify the extra cost. By the time I would have ordered one, I would have been pushing 10K over the cost of what I was able to get my LS for.

Cbrenthus · 03-11-2011, 11:01 PM

Go for it, I've never had buyer's remorse when I bought less rather than more. Plus, dollar for dollar, a base LS is the best car out there right now for the money. I was seriously considering a base LS but ended up with a base 1ss instead. LS = 300 some HP for 22K, can't beat that

Keep this in mind, a 37K 3-series BMW has 240hp! My S2000 in '06 was 33K and had 240hp!

Ace159 · 03-11-2011, 11:08 PM

The only thing that the RS has on me is the lights. But it doesnt seem too hard to get some eagle eyes. Looks like im going with a stock LS. Silver ice or Blue (Can't decide). And ill throw in the floor and trunk mats.

The ambient light is rather attractive at times, and most people change out there wheels sooner or later anyway...Depending on your state of mind and DIY attitude LS is cool.
