You mean.... Wings West?

They were the top dogs back in the late 90's.

Okay, here's some other words.
I think the car is bastardized, disenfranchized, misplaced, unsymmetrical and just plain old unattractive.

This car is unbelievably HOT. When I first saw it, it looks like the Batmobile - the matte black finish looks incredible, and the wheels match the gold accents on the car perfectly. The rear fender has been widened considerably, resulting in a VERY aggrressive stance - almost like a widebody kit. I tried to capture the essence of the Troy's project in my pictures, but it's hard to fully appreciate unless you see it in person.

Well put Javy. And thanks for sharing the pics. I did not want to pass any judgements on this till I saw it in person myself. This car already has a tough road ahead of it in terms of getting people to accept the direction Lexus is going with it. Now with well known tuners getting their hands on it, it can only get better for us when it come to choices. Stay tuned folks.......................

This is the first fixed up IS that has completely taken my breath away. There have been cars out there that are really nice, and really beautiful, but nothing is just purely stunning and spectacular as this IS is. It just looks... AWESOME. Those wider fenders are fantastic. The attention to detail for the surfacing is pretty spectacular. And that front... some people may call it "rice," but it's just absurdly fantastical. Five Axis... I hope you guys come out with a kit for this car. Maybe something a little toned down, but this is the first aftermarket body design I've seen for the IS that I am absolutely in love with. Productionize this, Five Axis!
