uh, NOPE! lol...IMHO, it would take a SICK custom paint job, crazy set of forge wheels, something crazy with the engine (turbo or supercharged), BBK, full kit...this sort of thing to even be considered for this event...I am a damn long way from this. ha!

Decide to bring this to the top since the deadline is coming up. BLUELEX's car is sick and is definitely SEMA wrothy. The world needs to see this thing... ok ok I have a man crush on the car so what?

the second anyone says their car is solid all of the other members will just start taking the car apart. I know this for fact. I am not referring to my car ( even though its one of the nicer 3GS models on the forum.. I say it with confidence), but I am 100% right

I entered, but I assume they are focusing on current model cars also.....Vs 7 year old models no matter how clean and modded they are....

My cars full 'mod list' is ridiculous, there is not much left on the car I havent upgraded in some way or another, so many of them are not readily visible, and,.......everything folks here have noted as 'necessary' so far, I happen to have.......

xcept for the sick custom paint....



I wonder how & when they will make the announcement...??

All we can do is assume that who ever they pick they will be contacted directly via the email you used to submit.....

We will announce the names once we get the green light from Lexus at this time.

Ryan,...

Do you know why some people on .IS recieved invitations from Lexus to go out to sema? As part of some ownership /enthusiast program...?

I am pretty sure all they got was an invitation to come and check out something lexus is doing... but no one seems to know what exactly that is ?

do you know what is going on with that & how come there was nothing mentioned here about anything other than the car contest...???
