Default My Evil Yota

I've always thought of my IS350 as the wild one in the Toyota family. It has the quality and reliability of a Lexus but performance and aggression of something much more free-spirited. And now I think I found a way to show that. Behold.... my Evil Yota:
(updated pictures)



The grille is a honeycomb grille I bought on eBay and the badge was custom made.

I think it really cheapens the look of the car. The GSE2x was never sold under the Toyota marquee anywhere, so it's not a JDM thing as was the Altezza. And the devil horns are tacky. You drive a Lexus, not a '94 Corolla driven by a tramp-stamped hillbilly.

Sorry, not my thing.

Ha, ha, you guys are funny. Don't hate on Toyota. All of us here are part of the Toyota Motor Corporation and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I find it funny that when somebody wants to talk crap about my car they'll say that it's a Toyota. Like that's a bad thing. Yeah, it's a Toyota and it doesn't change the fact that it's an awesome car.

I dont think anyone was hating on Toyota, we're hating on your taste in mods.

EDIT: The 3rd result in google images for "cheap Toyota emblem" yields your emblem... just saying....http://www.google.com/search?sugexp=...LsbE2gWz1bXlCA

Nobodys hating on Toyota or talking crap about your car dude....

We all know we drive Toyotas, some of us are just not fans of rebadging our Lexus cars as Toyotas.

Everyone has different tastes, to each there own
