It had to happen. Some dealer decides to retro the 80's into the 2000's. Not good.

That is just wrong - they should loose their franchise for doing something like that.

With any luck, that thing will sit on the dealers lot gathering dust for a long time.

Wouldn't it be funny if they modified an Ultra version with the panoramic moonroof? I know they didn't because of the aluminum wheels. But it still would be funny.

Most of you guys are probably to young to remember the 60s and early 70s when the vinyl roof was a popular option, and many cars came so equipped. I hated it then, and my feelings have not changed over the years. Gosh, they look awful

Thanks for the flattery, but sadly I remember them all too well.

Remember the opera windows and coach lights on some cars, usually accompanied by a vinyl roof???

The 80's had the fake convertible top look on Cadillacs.

Top looks good now but will look like crap in a couple of years. Fade, crack, discolor, etc. STAY AWAY!

Default Grill Great, Rag Top Not so Great

Finally the dealer is putting these grills in. I bet they are charging a arm and a leg to install. Installed mine myself, took a couple of hours but looks great I think. As for the rag top, who in the world would put a rag top on a Lexus?
