I really like it..... except for the hood, front bumper, side skirts, fender flares, spolier, rear view mirrors, and window tint. I do like the paint job, and maybe the grill!

Is that a 90-94 with a 2004 front end swap? The rest of the body (C-pillar, door handles, trunkline) doesn't seem to match up with the front clip.

It looks like it.

Yeah. . . I think that's a conversion too. One thing though. . . if you wanted to do that to a LEXUS, why wouldn't you just buy an Echo. At least you wouldn't have to pay EXTRA to make it ugly. It must be so rediculously slow too! All that extra drag ruining stock drag coeff and huge rims increasing rotation inertia. Maybe even swapped his motor for an SR20! Hahaha and there's probably a type R badge on the back, and a nike swoosh on the window!

That's call VIP style, not a ricer

The first thing I thought was - why does it look small? I guess it IS a 1st Gen.. But you know - it really doesn't look bad to me.. I don't normally like these kinds of things - and I wouldn't do that myself - but I think that car is a head-turned.. It just shines in all different directions.

sorry, didn't mean to flame, but I just can't stand the ricer look, especially on nice cars. I, personally, can't tell the difference. Everything is just so damn big it looks like a cartoon. . . like the batmobile.

There should be a jail for people that do that to a beautifully designed car. It is a form of advanced vandalism to my thinking.....
