Nice.
However, at the end of the day it's still just a Toyota.

looks like they tried to make it look like a 3 year old AMG... and it's sitting way to low for my taste... but not horrible
but I'm not much of a car guy... |

Nothing like taking a luxobarge with decent road pressence and making it into an undrivable show car that screams "drug dealer".
Don't get me wrong. I love seeing cars like this out on the street once they've seen a few months of the real world. Broken and misaligned body kits. Damaged underside from two many scrapes. Jackasses inside violently bounced around with every road imperfection as the bass...wait...is that a rattling sound I hear wioth every "bawoooomm" in that played out wannabe rap song? Anyway...looks cool in pictures. Has douchebag written all over it and completely devalues the car on the street. |

Whatever these are, ES350 or whatever, they're several years old, because Lexus has moved on to better-looking cars now.
Exhuast looks childish, the pop-rivets holding the body kit are obvious, and putting a German tuner's sticker on a Japanese car is stupid IMO. Gotta love the 20-series profile tires, too......Hope the roads are glass-smooth where he lives. Last edited by Homeslice; 05-05-2009 at 12:50 PM.. |

I like the look but it isn't practical at all. |

As another example, how many American cars do you see with Japanese language decals on them? It would look fucking stupid. The only people who would do it are teenagers stupid enough to think they can trick people into thinking their car is Japanese. Last edited by Homeslice; 05-05-2009 at 10:01 PM.. |

i think they look pretty pimp, only things i don't like are the cambered wheels and those scoops behind the ft wheel.
FYI, the style is called VIP styling.....
