is that your car socal? that shiz is sick... i used to have a nissan gloria (infiniti m35) in japan that was that color with the high gloss shine, it cost a lot to make it that way but well worth it. my wife won't let me spend that much to get the paint again since apparently i was an *** to anyone who even got close to it. i like the fenders too, if you don't mind my asking how much would you think it would cost to just put something like that into a set of fenders... i.e. taking the fenders off, making them like yours, then painting them and putting them back on??

nice work!!

opposite of the truth...VIP cars rock modified fenders all day long...If you look at pictures from the ever so popular VIP meet called K break, a lot of cars rock the modified fenders. A lot of the fender mods are taken from Mercedes Benz styling.

I can go either way with it. Years from now, the modified fenders will be a past trend and the clean stock fenders will always be in.

What do you guys think? It would be about a third 1/3 the price of these prussian blue ones and some look much nicer. they also sell the pieces for body kits as well. i have seen some nice ones in the back of the side body kit pieces.

Yeah, I know Lexus cars are made by Toyota. I worked for them for 15 years as a Master Certified Tech. I guess the expectation is that companies like Prussian Blue would fab a fender and mould it themselve with the vents. Much like the bumpers, and sides are completely fabricated to make a body kit. One thing though, TKracing did mention that because they were Toyota fenders, the fit was excellent.
If you can share more info on these type of fenders from Japan, I'm sure we all would appreciate that, bro. Thanks.

here is a link or two that you should just click around in even if you can't read it... i can't read japanese but my wife is/can so she helps me out when i get stuck...

http://www.braincadena.com/

that link used to be more english friendly but now it wants you to select a company which i will have to ask my wife about later.

also try: www.google.jp

remember this car is named aristo 16 in japan/ and or aristo jzs160/161 (((remember these when searching on japanese sites))) so search for this on the sites but other links are:

admiration at:
http://www.admiration.ne.jp

mode parfume
http://www.blowdesign.co.jp

auto couture:
http://www.auto-couture.com

wald:
http://www.wald.co.jp

anceltion:

junction produce:
http://www.junction-produce.co.jp

aimgain:
http://www.aimgain.net

k-break:
http://www.k-break.com

i am too lazy to drill deep down into these sites right now and i can't seem to find many of my old bookmarked sites and the ones i did find 2 of them didn't work anymore. try these out and let me know if you find something cool... the mags i get them from are VIP Style, VIP, and VIP Car... you can search for english sites that will sell you these mags as a subscription or as one or two at a time... trust me if you are a vip enthusiast or just a lexus enthusiast it is worth paying for the extra shipping for these mags... these is nothing comparable to these mags in the states..!!! thats my word.

enjoy,

O.K. Thanks for the links. I'm sure a few of us will be busy sifting through even if we can't read it.
