I'm new to CL. Don't know who's who yet, but I see the passion in your views. You also know how to wrap up disagreements no matter how hot they get. Good to see.
Imo, Tanabe/Tein/Eaton/Kelford/JIC/Borla/Roots, whatever, are everywhere. The mods I see on the street are looking all the same, nicely done I must say, but a dime a dozen nonetheless. What cars like this bastardized Q45 and the LS430/President have, whether you like them or not, is individuality. They're unique and creative. There's no cookie cutter design to follow. The Japanese builders aren't following sameold sameold current mods, now matter how new the trend might be. They aren't locked in to using the latest models either. They're expressing their individual asthetics. That's what I find intriguing. I'd park either of them in my driveway just for the ????????? factor!

Guys thanks for working it out politely in the end. However I'd ask for both of you guys (I8abmr and coco-bun) to arrive at that conclusion without the needless "I'm done..." and "GTFO" commentary in the future. No need for all this chest beating and personal back-and-forth bickering.
PM me if you want to discuss further please

then GTFO.
this IS VIP at it's craziest in the late 90s; and this particular one has been in the works for years. You don't see these type of cars anymore since the simple trend caught on in the early 2000s. But these insane widebody crazy colored cars still exist and is what mainstream VIP used to be.

Definitely not my style but I can appreciate the amount of work and cash that was put into this car.

Yeah, I want in on the group hug... I am still hurt from when I said the broken axle look was crap. 
All I can say about this car is that the guy wasted a lot of money, everyone has their taste I guess. I bet it would good to see all the stuff done to it person.
