Default RocketBunny Lexus IS250 (2nd Gen)

Back at it, and as usual, I'm bad at keeping my projects a secret...

The car is dropped off, ETA is 1 month. Updates to come as I receive them

For now, I leave you with this teaser

It's the gas tank because the frs tank is on passenger side unlike ours. It'll be all custom molded and fabricated away to look normal though

It won't be the first time I've done something custom requiring a lot of time

Glad to see that even after parts were stolen you still keep pushing your car further. Looking forward to the finished product

lol yeah and no haha, I did renders of this idea years ago but never had the guts to do this. Now that my fenders are cut and I can't go back I thought I might as well just go for it

But I wish she posted more of her car, she's so low key about it haha...
