I'm a huge fan of Auto Couture, but this kit missed the mark. The way they designed the kit, it looks overdone like Lorinser parts on a MB.

I could "live" with the White Wheel accents
The rear trunk spoiler: nope! Does not flow
Fog Light trio: nope! does not say expensive luxury!?
Fender Vent: nope! Does not flow on this car
Rocker Panel: wayy too busy looking???
Rear bumper exhaust combination: looks like very nice craftsmanship

that must be you. i am driving cars way lower than that and i have had no problems. it's just a matter how you drive. you need to be more careful, but not impossible

yup, when i first saw the kits photoshop on the black 600h, it looked cool. but as i see more pics, i started to actually hate it

1) the fogs are too big
2) too many holes around the kits
3) the rear wing is off
4) can't get over the rear exhaust (so is the one of the is-f)

Somewhere under that thin veneer is an abused LS that's crying for restoration...

Gets about 4 from me.
That's what I thought. I could have sworn everyone was hooping and hollering over the AC kit posted on another thread. Go figure. Seems like soon as 1 or 2 people say they don't like something, others chime in the same.

Anyway, I like the white accented wheels a lot. The fender vents seem too much for a luxo barge. They don'tlook horrible, though. Front needs to be dropped. The sideskirts are too busy for my taste. Overall, I wouldn't choose this for an LS I owned but I like looking at it. I'd drive it too.

i guess the black one hides a lot of lines so it "helped" a lot. plus on the other one, the foglights were blacked out so it didn't look as big. this one has the fog all white as well which imho is totally hideous. the AC kit is plain horrible now when i look at it
