Garbage85, I didnt like the projectors at first, but after looking at the pics for a few more seconds i loved them! Nice retrofit! Not a big fan of the grill though, reminds me too much of mercedes, but I can overlook that. Overall your car is hot!

Wow.... Automan, no offence, but i am really not digging your car.. In my opinion a Lexus is a classy, elegant car... Your before pic is fine, but the rims look ugly IMO... Just big and chrome, but weird angles... The scissor doors don't really fit me, but its not that bad.
The after kinda kills me to see a lexus like that, sure you probably dropped a load on the job, but its not really tasteful and doesnt really suit a Lexus. The paint job is kinda ugly, because the GS has body angles, and the line and detailing doesnt fit well with it. Thoes rims look better. IMO the type of style that you had done to the car would fit better with an old caddy.
All the others have pretty good looking before and afters.

I've seen the car in person and that is what won me over, really great execution.

probably just that. Let's see your ride! Of course, you're entitled to
your opinion, but what did you accomplish with your post?
Automan, much props- your car has come a long way. Like Derrick said,
I don't even remember it being black before. Is this the same car?
Not too many Lexus players are willing to repaint their cars and really
do something creative like you've done. I'm a sucker for blue, so you know
we're on the same page! Great choice!
Based on your post, I'm guessing you're a little bored with the car. That's
what keeps us die-hards going; we never settle for "enough!" You haven't
left much on the table, maybe just taillights and a tad more lowering.
During the repaint, I almost did suicide rear doors on mine... but I
chickened-out!
I guess if you're really bored you can change the wheels again-
I'd love to see your ride slammed a bit more on some sick modular wheels.
I feel your pain/boredom; I've got a set of Zone 1 20" being made
(for a tv commercial shoot) which will be followed by a set of 21" wheels...
I always try to push the envelope with this stuff!
Mad props, keep up the great work!

Hey Justakid no offense taken. I have been around long enough to know that some people are going to like the car while others will not. It was built as a show car and it does well on the show scene so I am not going to complain. The paint and the lambo doors are probably what helps me win more than anything else and people always tell me that they love it on the street. All of the cars look great and to be honest I have friends that say that all of us are ruining our luxury cars and playing Fast & Furious as adults 
But look at all the fun and friends that have come as a result of it. I am having a great time doing this so I have learned to take the positive and negative comments in stride.

. This car is setup for show and it does it nicely.

Happy New Year Club Lexus!! Hey I was just digging and found an old pic of my car from when I first came to Club Lexus. And I thought I would start a Before and After thread. Hopefully others will post pics of their cars from before they started modding to the way they look now. I have to say that I barely recognize my car from 4 or so years ago. I have had a lot of fun modding my car and I thank you guys for all of your input.
Here is my before pic probably 3-4 years ago.
