Hummmmmmm actually im kinda surprised that no one likes the rims. I think they look good on the car and they look even better when they are in motion. I have always been partial to a five-star kinda look anyway or rims with a lip on them so with these I got both. And the ladies love them. One thing I have never understood is why when you put some chrome or something a little different on your car do people automatically yell out Ghetto This and Ghetto that. I have not spend a lot of time in the ghetto but I seriously doubt they have GS300's with TV's and lambo doors on every corner. My car is still a lexus just like most of the people on here and ok the doors don't look like everyone else's but thats why I did it. Did it ruin the car no I don't think so, still rides like a lexus and looks like a lexus. I was prepared for people not to like my car though thats why my license plate says H8R PRUF.

Oh and unfortunately we don't have a Sonic in VA at least not Northern VA. And thats a bad thing I happen to be a big fan of Sonic burgers.

Hey man, your car looks good.. I like the lambo doors, if you make the suicide doors in the rear it would look more 'complete' IMO.. As for the rims if you like it, more power to you man !! Though its not my style but do what makes u happy !

[QUOTE]You lived in VA so you know how **** they are about vehicle mods

Yeah, they have the annual inspection in VA, but otherwise I would say California is more strict about loud stereos, exhaust, etc. We have speed bumps here in CA, too. How about a mild drop, like Eibach? The car needs it!! I hated seeing the few pimp cars in VA at stock height (of course, every car I have ever owned has been lowered).

Oh- almost forgot- rear doors: suicide AND Lambo. How cool would that be?

Hey, as Ice-T says, "pimpin' aint easy!"

I dunno, I personally like lambo doors, but I think you should do lambo doors for the rear too....that would be hot. As for the rims, some people like clean some people like flashy, and if lambo doors arent flashy then I dont know what is? so in that respect I think the rims suit you well.

Automan, congrats on taking such a big step - I bet it stops traffic!

I didn't read the thread so someone may have already said what I'm about to say. I like it and don't like it.

LIKE: Unique, eye popping, stunning, definitely unusual.
DISLIKE: I think you should do all four doors! IMO it looks hot, but a little uneven.

WOW....Here we go another mod on CL with so many thoughts!

i personaly like it and it would look dope with maybe all 4 doors done (i picture in my head)
If you like it DO U.... as for the ghetto comment i dont get that one either if you like chrome does that make you ghetto??? I would think not......i am a chrome Fanatic. Just like if you like money or have alot of money does that make you stuck up??? NO
If you have a nice car and u know other people with maybe not so nice cars does that mean u think your better than them? No i can go on and on about this but my piont is if you like it Go for it you only live once why not, and if it doesn't work out for you it will be a learning experience for you and other CL members!

.... I have spinners on my car and most CL members wouldn't agree with them BUT i LOVE them and there is NOT ONE PLACE i go with out getting a positive comment and get approx. 5 or more Positive comments a day!!


SO once again if you like it DO YOU and ......
Congrats!!!

I agree with your comments but ........I am one of those CL members that HATE spinners with a passion. Every spinner I've ever seen, EXCEPT for Davin, degrades the car. But like you said, it's not MY car

Again, way to go on taking that leap and getting the doors done! Are the rear doors next?

Cool

Where is Manaray on this "SPINNERS MAKES THE WORLD GO AROUND" issue?

I haven't seen any Lexus with spinners that shows up at any So Cal local meet.......I guess he's affraid of people's negative comments

I have no plans of doing anything to the rear doors. I don't even know if it is possible I don't think they have the same type of hinge as the front do they? And I don't know where you could possibly mount such as hinge as what the front uses. Of course I say this but then you watch a show like Pimp My Ride and it makes you think is anything really impossible? I don't think I will do anything with the rear doors. My next step will likely be a new paint job and possibly a body kit. I love the way the Vizage kit looks but the low price concerns me. Does anyone have this kit and what are your thoughts on it? I am going to throw some kandy paint on it too and hope to have it ready for a few shows by next summer. Other than that maybe an SRT intake and new exhaust but thats about it.
