Default LS400 w/ Cloth top and chrome fenders

Ok all I am always telling you how dealers in South Florida are and have been modifying Lexus cars. Well here is another picture of a Hideous LS400. I was only able to snap two quick pictures with my Camera phone but you get the point. This is supposed to make the car look like a convertible with a cloth top.

Thats terrible. You take a classy ride like the LS and give it that cheap makeover----criminal. You might as well gold plate the rims now...and the grille...tint the windows black....and hang shaggy dice in front.

If I caught the owner of that abomination in a parking lot, I'd bang his head against his vinyl roof until he came to his senses.

The sad part is I see this kind of Cloth top done to many cars down here. Mainly Buicks, Cadillac, Olds, Lincoln and such. The older people love it down here. The crazy part it very expensive to do. These old people think it looks great!

Hey no offence to Older people ok, I see lots of young kids driving some hideously modified cars too.

There's a special name for that kind of LS with the cameltop package, but the name escapes me. I agree that it looks at the least hideous, but you have to give the owner credit for being different

I found a few pics of a similar LS spotted several months ago around my town.

I think they are trying to make it look like a Caddy.
