Charmz, +1 - also think so.
All objects in red circles should be removed immediately.
The exhaust reminds me one of those ..

angel eyes on GS is too much? nah. go ahead and put them on. While you're at it, put LED strips on, too. I'm surprised lambo doors are in yet.

I am not feeling it at all. The car looks cheaper and tarted up. What possessed the owner to go with pink wheels I will never know.

In the end the important thing is that the owner likes the way the car looks

Come on you guys give the owner a brake. Maybe he just wanted to try something different. Everybody was kissing his *** when he first posted pics of his car. Now everybody is bashing it.

hehe, i don't know, what brake should i give him? or you mean break?

kissing his ***? i think you are taking it a bit far. when he started, some of the stuff was pretty nice and cool (well, subjective). but continue adding more doesn't mean it's always a good thing. after certain point it can be bad, and certain decisions could be bad. i don't think it's written anywhere that if a car started out nice, then it's nice forever

Oh my good Lord......I was just about to muster up some way to compliment your car until I saw the pictures of what it used to look like.

To be honest, the pink rims are the least of my concern with this vehicle. Pink could actually look good if the rest of the car didn't have so much going on with it.

Lexus is about style and class, and you just about sucked all the class out of this car by adding cheap autozone decals to it.

Listen very closely because your car can still be salvaged.

Take off any/all stick on emblems/ornaments (i.e. - vents, extra Lexus L emblem on the fender , ridiculous hood ornament, etc. etc. etc.

After you do all that the car will probably look a lot better. The Pink doesn't really bother me that much. Paint the whole car pink and let your wife/girlfriend drive it. If your gay, then this color fits you well so just leave it and keep flossing along.....

I'm loving it. Which reminds me, I saw a pair of pink Lacrose shoes today, but I didn't buy it because I couldn't rock it. =(

You should do what makes you happy, but to answer your title, it's crazy.

Default This an official reply from the owner of this gs

Hi all,

First of all, before i even had the ordasity of posting my GS riding on pink 20s on CL - i knew the comments were going to be quite negative.

But before anything else, I would like thank everyone who contributed their ideas, good and bad. But at least those were honest and straight to the point. Especially, the dude who kindly photoshoped circles on my scans. Thank you.

I do agree with most of you regarding the overload of "gadgets" around the car like the fenders and all.

Now, the matte black 3M vinyl. For me personally, i like the contrast between the matte and shiny silver. But IMHO, the vinyl on the boot is too much.

Now, the hot topic - HOT PINK WHEELS. Due to the fact that the car is half black and and half grey/silverish - the mid color in between would be dark grey. i deal with color combinations a lot because of my job. in theory, pink does go with grey. BUT - NOT ON A CAR! On a polo shirt, it would look good.
That was a mistake.

But....... mistakes do come with rewards, sometimes. Since ive had the rims sprayed pink. I have to admit - the car has become a chick magnet! It is like getting your MOJO back again!

The verdict - CRAZY. But in this case, CRAZY attracts the LADIES.

Here are the sleek and minimalist look to the GS. WITH BLACK WHEELS THIS TIME! ENJOY AND THANK YOU.
