I wonder how that will look metallic blk, but pearl white is sexy too- very unique. gotta love the wide body look to it, very sporty~ wished I had the money to do all of that. so far i can only afford keeping mine running right. I don't think its rice at all. It could be even pass off as a 2008 concept car.

It'd be great if you could explain more about the process/prices. So it was cut, pulled, custom side skirts, and full body kit eh. Prices would be great to let me know how much I need to safe up... Well great work. look forward to more pictures and postings~

Wow, there is alot of work into this car. Props to you and anyone who has worked on it! For the guy sayin its riced out, please shut the hell up. This is not rice, at all. Ya I am not a fan of the Canards but everything else is gorgeous! I love what you have done with the exterior, now lets see what you do for some power!!!!

Thanks everyone for all your comments! I was hoping that the car would be well received in the Lexus community! I definitely plan to add updates as the car is still in progress of being built.

The tranny is the 6 speed getrag. For the beginning stages I am going to keep the car stock US spec so the swap can be made legal. Then eventually I plan to add some goodies

The build process really took some time. The car was dark green with tan. The rear fenders had to be cut and pulled to allow the wheels to fit. Otherwise everything bolted up. The interior was pulled in favor for a black interior. The price for everything so far was in the 5 figure range. Not a cheap project hehe...

Five figure range is cheap! I wish I could say that.

Car is looking good! I still get a little hung up on the screws showing where the rear quarters attach but that my only complaint.
Love it!

I like the paint color and tails..but the bumper looks too aggressive and has too much going on, good luck with the finished product!
