How come we don't have one of those puking smilies?
Here's a couple which are very deserving of that monstrosity.



As to why they put the grill so high...it looks like they didn't have room to put it in evenly with the headlights. Should've gone with a different grill at least.

I have seen that car too, i'm no fan of it, but it does look alot better than this one! The guy from queens has bathroom tiles on the floor of his car!!!
Can I retract my previous statement? I was young and impressionable when I saw it! I dug up some pictures of it on the net, though I could have sworn it was black when I saw it on Jamaica Avenue. The fab on this Runner is much cleaner but it gets a little busy in the air dam area and the wheel selection is poor.

BTW, how do you know his bathroom tiles have his car in them?!

There is a magazine called Plush, that some guys from BedStuy started, it is kinda like a Dub magazine only its for street guys. His truck/car/whatever was in it. If I can find that issue, I'll take some pics with my cell cam!

huh, the GS4runna doens't look bad at all, well at least on this one they had the idea to place teh headlight and grille at the same level. Props to the fabricater and the person who came up with the idea.

I really do wonder how much was that conversion though? . Its one of a kind but IMO just doesn't seem right.

Is it possible that the picture is from the Memphis, TN area or that the SUV is?

About a year and a half ago (back before I had my GS4... had a Maxima SE at the time) I saw a 4Runner with GS headlights and grill molded in, with that exact color of paint, and if I recall correctly, those exact wheels. I also remember he had the size of the wheels written on one of the side windows... if I recall something around 23-24" but I forget.

At the time my reaction was 'that looks like ghetto crap and somewhat posuerish, but at least its definitely an original idea!'

I wonder if that's the same 4Runner?

Brice,

What is your icon? The girl looks scary!

Thats the girl from Evanescence (sp?). She looks kinda freaky in that pic, but she's got a great voice.

About those truck conversions, I feel I need to add my .02:
