Love the rims and the body kit. Can seem to get a grip on the whole stance thing yet.

For the record, this car is is not a 2013; however, it's the only car that I've seen that has done the true '13 front/rear end conversion.

As for the "decal", I believe it's the car owner's shop: http://www.cockpit.co.jp/

IMO, this car is light years ahead of anyone here in the US to even keep pace with.

Brian is right...that is a one off kit. The owner is Kenichirou of Japan. How do it know...I asked him to see where I can order one, he said it was a one off original. lol Wheels are 21'....seem like they all run 21" in Japan on the L460/600.

Nat, I didn't know that the bumper was full custom. That's news to me. I thought the aero started off as an LXF bumper but he just added his "finishing touches" for the fogs, intercooler, etc.

Either way, I stand by my statement of "light years ahead of the US" lol

Agreed with light years ahead of us. I wanna do it and i think the only thing holding me back is price of the headlights.

Japan is going aggressive. Some folks in the US will like it and some with hate it. I, on the other hand, love it.

That's not just a front end conversion but also a rear end conversion. The rear is almost as involved to do as the front. New trunk lid lights bumper etc. Notice the mirrors too. those are 13. Lots of money spent on this! As for aggressive yes that's where it's going. Yes i know not all trends and styles from japan come to the states but look at how many years it took for the VIP scene to really take off here. It's just a matter of time before we start seeing more and more aggressive set ups.
