Ditch the orange side markers for clear and get rid of the smoke tail lights so they match better to the front. At present looks awkward. very stately looking ride though.

Agree, no more yellow and change the smoke rear to bright red and bright white updated reflective look. Last,,,I would prob paint the wipers on the front silver to match. That would be awesome. Oh yeah, and change the back license plate lights to an HID look. I saw that yesterday on a lexus and gives any car a "nice touch"

That's a beautiful 400 I would agree with removing the smoked tail lights and going with a Euro style light or the late model of W140 gen.
