Default Name this kit...

I like the front lip of this kit, looks kinda like a more contoured Greddy. Anyone know who makes it?

Not that experienced with Lexus but how did the owner get all of the light covers to become blue?

Eric,

It couild be that someone had it moulded into the body. I recall a thread (and found it) where that was discussed -->click here .

I started thinking they also removed the side marker lights - another factor making me lean away from the Greddy idea, but then noticed the Aristo badging towards the back passenger door of the car, so this is not a US car (tried looking at interior).

Edit - those wheels look an awful lot like mine, except in hyper-black.

Dave,
At first I thought it was a modded greddy, but the way it wraps upward around the fog lights made me think again... I also recognized the wheels and thought of you... very exclusive!

Thanks for posting this pic! The lip still looks good from the side, and you really don't even need side skirts cause it doesn't hang that low in front! Still liking it....

WHO MAKES IT??? ANYONE...? ANYONE...? BUELLER...? BUELLER...?
