This insane Lexus might be the first VIP hybrid we've ever seen. And it's certainly one of the nicer VIP builds anywhere, regardless of powertrain!

I often wonder how hard it is to sell a car once you've done this to it. There was an IS-F for sale on the forum recently that had a lot of mods, and let's say they were very much to the owner's taste. That car just sat there for the few months I noticed it with no apparent interest whatsoever.

Is this a joke? It looks like one of those Hondas that kids put a body kit on but never paint or finish. Seriously? Enough with this crap. Put it in the VIP section.

LOL love these comments. As ‘07-09’s dip below <$9999.00 we will see more like this. Happens on every LS sub forum...

Cant stand the rivets BTW.

No kidding. What the hell are people thinking when they do that to a car? It looks like something they'd do on a '70s NASCAR build.

NOPE...$900, due to lack of decals.

I love widebody cars and I attempted (and spent an entire winter) making my own widebody kit out of fiberglass for my first corvette , and that's sort of what this one in the photo looks like.

Like a guy like me "attempted" to make his own kit , and didn't quite pull it off.

The fit and finish on the rear is really really bad, its obviously a flare from another car just "force fitted" on.

Nowadays they make some really high end, great looking bolt on kits that actually look pretty good, but its not going to work on luxury sedans, its definitely gotta be a sports car or coupe.

Is the showing rivets a trend now ? Personally I think it looks like crap leaving the rivets showing. I'm sure it done well, and a lot of money spent but, to me, it looks like someone to a very expensive car picked up a body kit and used a cheap rivet gun to install it...

Maybe I an wrong...

Well, that Ferrari with the wide body does look pretty hot, just wish there was no DAM RIVETS showing... it totally wrecks the look for me.
