lol, I guess I'm the only one here who likes the black face/polished lip look. I mean, I want to rock the look on my car since, well, at night time, you only really see the chrome lines before you actually see the car, and I think that kind of stuff looks awesome!


If you're looking for hot rod styling, check out the Kyoei USA's LS400 demo car (same as above).

(picture is a hyperlink to the Super Street feature btw) Also, if someone can resize this, that'd be awesome!

I like the black with polished lip also, that's why I did it. But the car is feeling more and more "aggressive" these days and I feel like I want that "track" look. Kind of a mean look. Chrome trim and polished wheels on my car adds a little class to it but that's not where the car is going.

Class is the last thing I think about when I see the car. The polished lip is a welcoming break from all the black. I do think that tinted windows will give you a more sinister look.

all black wheels and tint :P

The polished lip/black face in above pic looks good because it also have the chrome trims and shiny black paint.
