I saw an LS with a very similar paintjob at the airport less the gold spoke wheels just last week in NC.

Someone has an H-1 Hummer in Houston that has the color-shifting paint - except on those slab sides and square corners it doesn't blend, it just likes every body panel was sprayed with a different color. Putrid green, grey, purple, teal, to blue - it's Piet Mondrian on acid!

Cincinnati ... oh no.

I'll have to keep an eye open for that thing next time I'm up there.

Here in Charleston we've got a few color-shift Lex's ... in fact, I think there's a 1994 ES with purple-green color shift paint sitting on crappy gold spokes.

But if that's what makes some people happy - carry on. I wouldn't do it to my car, that's for sure.

That's one serious paint job. I know that paint is very expensive. How much do you guys think it probably cost?

Poor LS. Ugly wheels and ugly paint job. This car needs to be repoed and taken back to stock.

Good thing it is parked all safe and such. It would be a crime if anything happened to this thing of beauty.

Since these styles are done to the domestics(Caddy, Buicks...), they like ok, but on a Lexus

What do you call those things that the lowriders back in the 80's use to make sure that they don't hit the curbs that are placed by the wheels.............curb spokes, curb something.....???

It just makes you wonder why...
To each their own though

Can you imagine what they may do if they had the $$ for a Ferrari or such?

I won't commment on the paint job, but I like the white-wall tires. I really miss them. On almost every car I grew up with they were standard....and when they were not standard they were optional. A few luxury cars had double white-and-gold striped tires like this LS, and some of the 60's muscle-cars had red-striped tires. The auto industry basically did away with them in the 1980's on all but some domestic luxury cars like the Town Car, Park Avenue, and Cadillacs. I thought that was a mistake then and still do, 25 years later.

Its not THAT bad. Yeah it goes agains everything a LS should look like, but its not like that car is riced up or anything. I think that putting that Lexus emblem on the hood to make it look like a benz is alot more pathetic then what this person did to the LS
