Not sure if this has even been posted up here before but anyway

Execution is done nicely (although from the side it doesn't flow as well).

Definately unique in Design

I agree that the execution and workmanship appear excellent.

The headlights are the pretty sweet looking, but the kidney/BMW wanna be grill doesn't fit, IMO. Front bumper is way too busy.

As the old saying goes, "to each their own". I'm sure the owner is proud of it.

The idea may certainly be unique, but I would not say the same for design when it's clear that the owner wanted to transform the front fascia of this RX into an X6. I would never imagine this for my car, but I would go far enough to say that in consideration strictly of the hours and effort that this project probably required, the end result is pretty fair.

If this was done without the "in your face" kidney grill I think it would look much better.

hmm, nice craftsmanship for sure. Not my cup of tea though. Front bumper and rear bumper doesn't flow well.

Someone with too much money on their hands obviously. The front looks like a bastardization of X6/Escalade/R8.
