It doesn't take much to leave your car stock and put bigger wheels on it.

Well said, Cannonbear!

Sean,

Most of SC owners here pretty much just follow whatever the "trend" is out there which is invented by somebody else. They buy things (body kit, wheels, etc) just because someone else has it and also they think it looks cool.

On the other hand, you put a lot of thoughts into it & create your own.
Props for doing that, man.

thanx guys for your comments. but i have decided to remove the paint, round off my rear fender, put some volks on it, and do a 97 conversion. just to please the members of CL. the polls have spoken!! sike! listen i do like my car alot. because its a lexus and the stock car is a great base for any upgrade. but because its my car and i didnt get to do what i wanted to do to this car i am not 100% satisfided. yes i like it. most people look at it and like it! but when i look at it , i see the work put into it. i have been into cars my whole life. and use to customize hot wheel cars all the time when i was a kid. nowadays you can just buy a custom car. but thats someone else ideas. to me the definition of custom is to create ,modify, and to do something that was never done before. obviously this was never done before. i am sorry but i cant tell the differance between most of you guys cars . they look the same. p.s. thanx for the positve feed back guys. i just want to think outside the box ( or in this case outside the 97 body style). does my car really look that bad? i seen a green and yellow sc on 22s that was kinda weird, and did you guys see that sc on cardomain with the full motor work, then the guy painted it 2 tone. but if yall dont like it then thanx for your honesty.CL ROCKS

It does look kinda bad. If you used the OEM taillights, it would NOT be AS bad... but it looks bad. However, gotta hand it to you again, you really got some love marbles to try something new.

Your car is near par to this:

Your car isn't my cup of tea eather, but hey, you put in alot of hours and hard work into it. I can't even imagine being able to do body work like that. You are doing what you like the most, so that's wonderful. Do what you like and just because others don't like it, doesn't mean you have to change it. No point in trying to make everyone happy, mod for yourself.

Keep doin your thing!

Much props for carving out your own path and not taking the 'cookie cutter' route.

It may not be to everyones likes, but if theres one thing Ive learned in this 'scene' is that you cant please everyone.....nor should you even try.

In this context the car is cooler. IMO.
Please... no one freak out and say this is racist. It's totally not.
Snoop is such a pimp. The car needs a hood ornament.
