One-Off Lexus RX400h by Carrozzeria Castagno Milano
Snapped by our Italian friends at Autoblog.it parked somewhere in Milan, this is one special RX400h. See, unlike your usual tuning-locos who'd either go to an aftermarket specialist or Lexus, the owner of this hybrid SUV thought of something a… tad more drastic; he summoned upon Italian design house, Carrozzeria Castagno Milano to pimp his ride! -Continued after the jump
Obviously a sucker for wood, the "rich and tasteless" owner got his RX400h dressed with exterior wood panels on the bumpers and side mouldings. The exterior package also consists of a white mask, brown colour plastic mouldings and a…Kevlar look-alike roof spoiler. Mods inside include hand stitched, light-brown colour leathering and of course, plenty of wood inserts!... What a woody-wood-pecker!

Not a bad pick on wheels.
BUT.. WTF... OMG...
My eyes can't hold the wood bumpers and body trims. Even a 15-yr-old knows it is not wood and they still want to "really pretend" it is wood.
It reminds me the PT-Cruiser.
The worst part is the dark color bottom half. It slims weight distribution with visual and makes me feel seeing Casper on the street. There are two-tone setup on cars just like Rolex watch, but this one has really bad approach. Nice try tho!
My opinions only....
