Browsing Lexus, I saw this pic, must be photoshopped but can you spot what is wrong?

dropped and the passenger side front wheel is not correct.

having had a 300ZX in the past, it's easy to spot the wheels when they're on backwards

I wish they would stop this annoying and deceptive practice.

Photoshopped tinted windows is another one that kind of irks me...

2008 and 2007 3GS brochures are exactly the same, all the 08 "styling" changes are photoshopped on. and they are EXCELLENT work IMO.

not suprised some of the pictures are touched up.

I have to agree. At least use a disclaimer.

I had some advertisement sent to my home from JM Lexus and they had a silver GS350 lowered with tints... looked sweet. Thats what I'm picturing when I drop and put wheels on my car.

hehe, either way, you shouldn't advertise a car if you cant buy it off the lot looking that way. I dont know of any dealership that will sell a GS dropped already.....anybody else?

The dealership will pretty much sell any used cars as-is.
