Default Saw somethin cool on a GS, what is it?

I was in a McDonalds parkin lot the other day, and I saw a young kid, around the age of 20-25 and he had a white Lexus GS 300. THe funny thing about it was he had a bodykit similar to the one in the picture, and on the bodykit there were really small neon lights, probably around the size of a domelight, each light was on the end of each wheelwell, I circled the pictures to make it clearer. Anyway anyone know how it is done, or the product it is?

Don't know anything about LEDS, but what kind of grill is that on the car in the photo and where could I get one?

Honestly, I wouldn't go with the LED's. A GS already attracts enough attention, adding lights to places where lights shouldn't be just looks silly.

Especially the ones where you put lights where the widow sprayer use to be on in front of the front windshield

Personally I think having all those lights on a GS will make it look silly.

it actually isnt that noticeable, they arent bright like those retarded windshield washer lights. They're more low key, i didnt notice them till I looked at his rims.

hmmm...I think adding lights like that are rather ricey...but I guess if you're going for the riced-out look then it's a must-buy Come on, that kinda cr&p is expected from civic owners...

The front bumper is a Crux kit (or knock-off..most likely) and the sides/rear are from another kit (Falcon maybe?)...must be a combo Cyber-1/Cyber-2 kit from the notorious VIS Racing Knock-Off Clan (their kits SUCK by the way)...Kinda looks retard with the knock-off wheels and the 3" wheel well gap...and the nice TRD sticker...basically, something you DON'T want your car to be...eh, but what does a jerk like me know anyways?

Agreed!!!!!!

Somehow I dont think the guys on www.mbworld.org present one another with questions like this. "Hey dude, where can I get ghetto *** LED's for my E55?" I bet there isnt a riced out E class or S class in the ENTIRE US. No offense to anyone, Im just trying to understand.
IMO our cars are just as prestigous as MB. Why do sooo many people RICE them into a piece of ****!!!!!

Maybe it is because most E and S class drivers are 50+ years of age.
