I thought so too when I saw the pic by itself. The kits lookin kickass, I wonder if we can get a group buy going on this classy looking kit?

I agree that Juan's kit looks awesome, but remember that his choice of kit is not straight from the menu. This is what he has as listed in the 1st post:
Aero Magic front lip, Autocouture Exclusive sideskirts/rear bumper and Wisesports style VIP wing.
As you can see, a portion of the kit was purchased from a vendor, and another portion came straight from an inside source in Japan.

You know, before Juan01 showed us his kit, I was fixin to ask you guys if you thaught it be Ghetto to mix the lip kits?

the auto couture kit is just too much cheeze soory but thats too much money for a lip kit.

I like the exclusive front lip. also, I saw some side skirts on ebay that I really like, they said only 199 for the skirts...now still thinking of a back that I like


so, I guess y'all aren't opposed to mixing diffrent lip kits?

a lot of people mismatch body kits.. but the general rule is to make them flow and make sure they have similar lines

Actually, the whole kit came from an auction on Yahoo Japan Auctions... courtesy of {-.-}, Robert. The wing came from him too... The front lip wasn't my first choice, I really liked the Wisesports one, but this deal was too good to pass up, so I took it.

As for mix/matching kits, no problem in that... as long as the lines flow as HB said.

some new pics again from a car show yesterday, I wasn't ready at all, I kept the doors closed, just popped the hood.... the wirelooms look kinda to me, but I just left them on. The bay was really dirty, just sprayed detailer and called it a day

Great show pics Juan. Your under-the-hood display is simply clean and amazing. Sadly my battery doesn't look half as clean as yours

How did you turn out at the show? What were the placings? Did you see any other Lexus at the show?
