When I first saw your car with the 18's and those tires ,I thought you were from NY, because the streets are so bad. Anyway, your car comes to life with the black 20's.

Wow..... I'm sorry, but I have to say this.

1 out of a 10, I give this a 2. I like the over all detailing, however there's TOOOOOOO MUCH of a good thing on here.

Things you NEED to get rid off.

Smoked LEDs - Put in some OEM 01+ 2nd gen Tail lights. It'll look 10x better!
Black Top of your trunk - WTF is that??
Black Roof - Wtf??


Stop using ebay!!!!!

I'm sorry, but nice try. This is a LEXUS. Not a Civic.

Not trying to hate, just trying to save you from wasting more of your money on meaningless crap.

a 2! ouch, really? I donno, it is different but to each their own. If he likes it thats what matters. I think its definitely unique. Do what looks good to you man.


I just noticed that was my 600th post! sheeeesh BTW the black on silver looks good to me! I even considered doing some black donz wheels on my millenium silver at one point before i got my lsportlines.
