With either one of these lens, you can achieve such. (1) Really wide angle lens down to 18mm. (2) Fisheye lens (10.5mm such Nikon) and flatten the image with Nikon software. Photoshop the rest.

However, I must say, "Holly Cow on the drop." I have stock height, 2006 GS 17" rims, fender roller, and my tires still rub every time I carry passenger(s) in the back. I don't know how you guys do 18" with drop height. I still have my stock suspension, and I prefer to go over dips or railroad like any regular ES. What do you guys recommend I do? I hate to go crawl over speed pumps. Just replace old stock set with new KYB set and test it out?

Very nice looking IS Sportcross you got there. I helped a co-worker get an IS Sportcross back in 2005 and she loves it...you don't see to many sportcross's out there. Too bad Lexus didn't make a 2nd generation IS sportcross...
