Default Spotted!!!

Spotted the following RX330 as I walked out of work the other day. This guy is running a set of 20's on the car, and has had some side steps put on along with chrome door handles, mirrors and also changed up the grill. It looks quite nice in the metal. Didn't know one looked this good here in Perth, Australia.





Didn't grab the guys name, so unable to provide any further details on this car. Only thing I could thing that would set it off even more is a nudge bar up front. Like this

Windows screens = shade cloth = baby seat in the back = less heat for the kids in the back.

They fit over the window and tie up down the bottom somewhere. Yes they could be easily ripped if anyone was willing to try. A lot of cars down here in Australia, tend to have these shade clothes when kids are involved.

Too much chrome looks tacky. And the wheels are hideous. Way to ruin the looks of a nice car!

Is he the only one that parks on that street or is it parked illegally?

Not parked illegally. If you notice he is parked in a bay. It's one of the main streets in the CBD and parked outside my building.

Snowman hope you came out of the floods okay. It was a real shock to see what was occurring in Qld and the rebuilding that now needs to be done. Best wishes from Perth.

Also hope that these damaged vehicles do not find their way back on to the market in any way shape or form except to be cut down into little pieces.

Thanks, and sorry for hijacking your thread, I am high and dry! Had a wheel alignment booked first thing Monday morning but that never happened.

I just can't work out why the new cars were all parked up the front, but the customers cars left in the locked car park? The least they could have done was to put someone on watch overnight, and move them if the water came up; guess they had no idea of the 1974 flood levels.....

Nice picture that you posted
