Wow, that's utter garbage. They couldn't even take the time to make sure the hole was centered in the middle of the hood! Not that the butchering actually would be improved had they measured. The chrome molding around the glass looks like they forced it in with a hammer as if it was one of those cheap aluminum frames you get at the hardware store to cover a window screen. Truly horrible. I've seen some bad stuff on here but Lexus should track this vehicle down and sue the owner for devaluing the brand reputation, like when Ferrari sued a guy who made his 360 into a stretch limo.

Or a friend/relative of the vehicle's owner since he was nice enough to blur the dude's face and license plate

Nothing like taking good sheet metal and ruining it. Not only the hood but the baking pan. There is a device called a tape measure to reasonably measure out placement. This guy wasn't of the thought, measure twice cut once. Better yet, he needed to measure a dozen times then go back inside and watch TV instead of attempting such a job.

As for the IS...easier to rent a truck.

Poor guy, I think two motorcycles must have run over some blue paint and then drove over the center of his car side by side.
