how i got her


got these rims for free and had them laying around the garage for a long time..... decided to put them on. i will change them out eventually. but $ is always an issue.


polished the headlights and brights.


tinted the tails and blacked out the gawd-awful gold and changed the look of the "L" logos. just a lil different. just my dumb style. sorry to offend the circled L lexus logo lovers out there.





making a custom gauge pod. i don't do pillar pods in luxury cars. .







my cardboard box paint booth.


textured... and i will change the color of the wood grain eventually.



thats all for the at the moment...... thanks for looking.

Not a prob. I hated the gold and will probably shave all emblems or swap to soarer logos someday. They were cracked and crappy. So its temporary. And I apologized in the pic thread for pissin off lexus logo lovers just because I knew people like you are out there. :-). Thanks for the criticism. I can take it.
