That Momo steering wheel is like $400 USD right there.

Actually, the QX4 was my second choice when behind the RX300 and by quite a big margin (got the RX300 only after getting assurances from Lexus and Toyota about service in Mexico).

Except the awful body kit stereo/video modifications and those hideous rims , this is probably what Lexmex would have done had he bought that QX4 instead of the RX300.

His air intake coupled with that supercharger (looks more like a Stillen used on the FX35) is a nice, clean fit.

He also copied my RX300 accelerator/brake pedal idea by removing the black pieces and leaving the silver pedals themselves.

Those 24 inch rims may look nice, but he ended up messing with his unsprung weight big time and thus killed some of that juicy power from that supercharger.

Would have loved to see him stick a turbo instead in this thing for a really difficult project.

There are some ways this could have gone better.

I agree that there are better ways to spend automotive dollars but I can't agree that it is ugly. In fact, IMO it is not bad-looking at all......certainly better than some of the stock SUV's Nissan / Infiniti is building TODAY.
