I hope you mean SICK as in bad!! That is HORRENDOUS.... I mean, maybe it works for a TOTAL SHOW CAR, but it takes all the class outta driving a Lexus.

Kinda neat coloring though. Plus, I doubt you'd see ANY OTHER LEX WITH THAT!!

I mean SICK as in BAD!! hahahaaha but it does make a cool show car. Agreed!

I would like to have the stock wood pieces with this color if it's a deeper blue, but the entire car filled with blue wood? It'll seem like the E is still in effect!

That seems to be a 3-D molded wood kit. Where did you find this? I would like to get the same thing in the regular wood color, please help, thanks.

Blue? Maybe red or green or even pink. why not ? To each there own. There must have been a lot of interest in this kit or else it would not be a kit correct? All i want is that black wood kit and i will be a happy camper. Again I ask for any hlep finding that black kit by the way..hahaha any info would be cool.

I dont' think the kit is ALL THAT BAD if you look at the car in the "show car" standpoint. As a showcar, it's pretty tight. Hey, at least it's different!!

As for a normal, daily driver.... It's UGGGGLY.... I think it would be better if it were maybe a DEEPER BLUE and not that BRIGHT, HOT, blue color....

The grey wood would easily cost over a grand. Has anyone tried taking them off and somehow paint on them? I've thought about taking them off and painting them aluminum/silver color (aluminum is my thing) but don't want to waste some perfect high-class wood. Or can I find a place that can mold the woods in fiberglass and then paint those?

Ok every one. This is what I found out about that gray wood kit. The kit is for the Japan Spec. car. The door inserts will fit but the center counsel will not. I have been in contact with Dave at GT Autosport and he sent some photos to about the kit. I am planning on getting the kit even if the center wont fit. Here is the good news, the kit is not actual wood but more of any over lay. this is according to Dave. I am going to look at the center part to see if it can be worked with. I have a gut that can work magic with plastic. I will give more updates as this folds out. For the people that want this kind of upgrade, all the trouble will be worth it.

thanks for the info kodai.

See if you can come up with something like a fiberglass kit for the 5 pieces, so we can paint them or something. (Paint then silver or apply carbon fiber film) WOULD BE COOL!!!!!!!!
