Default FRS with the Lexus Spindle treatment

I can pass I think the FR-S is already a damn good looking car. This kit is too busy for my tastes

Wish Lexus would get a version of this car...better interior materials, bigger brakes/wheels, and more power.

Priced at about 35-40k with 250-300hp, that would be Awesome.

I'd pass on this kit. Too much going on, and it doesn't care to even look partially integrated back into the car. Looks like the aftermarket overfenders that pickup trucks sometimes have

I think the spindle will look good on most Toyotas / Scion's

+1, but it would probably end up starting at $50K

Looks ok.
Yesterday I saw a Subaru BRS.
Looks weird to see the Subaru badge on that car.

I like the lines and the scuplture of it, but all the little details such as the black inserts in the fog light area, and diffuser behind the front fender, as examples, turns me off.

I still haven't warmed up to the Spindle Grill yet. Surprisingly though, the only Lexus car I kind of like it on is the ES of all cars. As for the rest of the body kit, looks too tacked on with the riveted body panels. Reminds me of the 80's fender flair kits. Those exhaust tips look awesome though.

This kit isn't new. The only thing unique is the grille and aero devices behind the front wheels. That said, it looks tacked on, but the grille kinda works imo.
