The center of the Tom’s grille looks okay to me; it’s the triangle under the headlights that throws off the symmetry.
I’ve skimmed through many of Tokyo Auto Salon videos on YouTube, and this is the only clip I’ve come across that shows it. It’s hard to get your eyes to focus on the left side of the screen, but the car is there.
that is straight up the most hideous LC500 i have seen in my entire life, and I have seen quite a few ugly ones in my time. And as if it wasnt ugly enough, check out the panel gaps on the rear fender. Ewwwww
Would be a perfect illustration of "gauche" except it's far far worse and don't know the word for that.
I think Lexus should ban the guy from getting his hand on their vehicle for butchering one of their best looking vehicle on the road.
This $hit is hideous looking. Why would you do that to an LC500? The front grill is what makes it iconic.
Nah, I'm still getting mid-2000s GM vibes from this nosejob... I don't mind so much what they've done at the rear - the exhaust pipe treatment and the silver foil style top to the tail lights were among the few flaws of the original design, IMHO
Thanks for these images more fully illustrating overall design. Have to revise former comments about liking. First image of rear seen and it's a confused herd of elements. Straight frontal illustrates a nice upper opening with the "L" logo, but a crude lower mouth. As has been mentioned the left/right triangles below headlights really detract from any attempt to enhance the OEM LC design.

I ventured into swapping some of my caramel panels for black to break up the interior a bit HERE. I want to like this, but it feels a little too heavily accented in black. I’m assuming the panels are OEM swaps, while the seats look custom. Still pretty cool for idea gathering.
