I don't live in Tokyo, but I visited the place you are referring to. I think it is called Toyota Land or something like that. They have pretty much every model car there, including some Lexus cars, even a IS300(Altezza) GT car. It's like a huge showroom. It's near that big *** ferris wheel, not to far from Disneyland.

furby: I'm 10 miles from the 707 here in the 415.. if you see my car you'll see one of these license plate covers glowing Lexus with the L logo. I like it personally, it gives the car personality and alone it's not ricey. Now, if I had that on a Honda with LED windshield wiper nozzles, clear corners with bulbs that are too bright, cut springs and a Yuban I can see how it would be a good ol' piece of rice.
I am sorely tempted to make a trip to Japan and buy a 2.5TT.. or waste 10 grand on stuff for my car

aaah, i've seen this mod before, i even saw a how to for this mod.

i wish i bookmarked it

i do know that they cut out the original letters and (here is where it gets fuzzy) put lights or something behind the plate so that the characters are illuminated.
