I concur!



With an un-natural amount of money to customise their GS, the least they could have done is install some LED tails. Come on, you can pick a tinted set for less that $300 on ebay that would suit the car more. They also could have sorted out a half decent exhaust and rear bumper too as they look like stock. The only rear mod is the removal of the fog lights & reg plate.

I understand it is a Show car, but no matter how much time and money you invest, this car has no taste what so ever. It brings so much attention not because craftmanship idea and style, rather lock of all makes this car unique, ugly unique
Unless there is separate class for cars like that, I DONT KNOW WHAT I'M DOING CLASS

It's my personal opinion

The work done is of good quality, but I don't care for the approach. The 98-00 stock tails have got to go. I think any 2nd GS owner will concur that those have got to be the first thing to go. The area between the taillights looks baron without the inner lights and plate. If you're going to relocate the plate it should look like it belongs, not like you pinned it on with a couple of tacks. And of all cars to put that slime green colour on, the GS is one of the worst. Everything else I can get past, even though my tastes don't care for them.

Seeing what's been done... I say dude completes the look and changes the wing to one of those 10 inch tall aluminum jobbies. Maybe some sticker bullet holes and a chain license plate holder to complete the look.

Yes! lol

This is a prime example of how to turn heads for the wrong reasons. Its a "Show Car" and thats it. Once the accessories don't "accessorize" the vehicle anymore, you've completely created a monster! No longer a Lexus, its a Nexus.

Let's break it down,

Paint - bright Green - disgusting

Pinstriping - doesn't add to the lines of car, creates own

Rims - Ok

Suicide Doors - Interesting.

Interior - Looks like Lime Flavored Jello!

Steering wheel - why?

TV - prime example of when an accessory become the main attraction. Too Big

Seats - Even if your a p.i.m.p., "Gators go on your feets, not your seats!"

Back Interior - Suicide doors with no room to sit?

Tailights - guess he ran outta money

Rear Lip - guess he ran outta money

License Plate - why?


Old Caddys and Big Cheevys are made for this kinda styling. Once you do it to a Luxuary Sport Sedan, a GS at that, You've comitted blashphemy! Kirk Franklin should assemble GP together and "STOMP" yo ****!

He has got a ton of money invested in this thing and custom, custom, custom. I can understand why someone would not like it but you gotta respect the amount of time and money that has been invested.
That's true but just because you put a lot of money and time into your car doesn't mean it's hot. I've seen soem ridicilous cars that had more tasteful mods. I know most of the time people do some work to their car that really isn't functional on an everyday basis but his mods look tasteless as well. Not trying to criticize just stating my opinions. I mean even your car looks more appealing than his.
