The door pillars are a personally made mod. If you look close you can see the front windshield pillars are also chrome. One of theese days I'll put up a DIY / How to thread.

I agree with you on all your points, I definantly want bigger wheels, the tail lights do look a little off, but I'm working on a few ideas.

Yeah it is pretty low but the wheels are to small, so when I get bigger ones it will then be to high, thats why i want coilovers.

I first saw sail light caps in the hyper rev for celsior then I heard they were like $250 dollars (unpainted) so I painted my original lightsbut I didnt like the gap that was left, and I thought that the reverse light just floating there was stange, so I took the red/clear tail light bondoed the seam (and while I was at it I filled the holes from the OEM logo & LS badge and a big key scratch) before I even got around to painting it I found that the weight of the tail lights would crack the bondo so I had to redo it I tried caulking but it din't go on smoothly, I ended up just making a small gap that I filled wth caulking.

It's rare to see anything like that done to a Lexus around here. All you see here is suped up Honda Civics and Nissan 240SX's. Stupid Ricers, it's nice to see a Lexus look that good for a change.
