you can be any race and be ghetto..... lets not sum things up by posting "mexican's... etc..." because thats just sad..... being a lexus owner and being that LOW class.... im not mexican .... but im sure we got some hispanic people on board, and im sure they would take that as an offence.

The first GS looks good dropped. I think that its the ugly rims that ruin the car.

There is a very fine line between doing too much and doing it just right. When I first saw CamRen's car (before the rear spoiler), I thought that it was very well done. But if you just glance at this picture you would say that they look close to being the same. Most people don't know the difference in junk and class. Some would say that any mod to a car (especially a Lexus) would be considered ghetto. Window tint, lowered suspension, big rims, subwoofers and big exhaust all fall into that catageory in some people's opinion. Luckly, we all have Club Lexus as a source of reference so that we can become educated to doing things the right way.
haha i dont get it?? im sorri but R u saying my car is the same as the green Gs thats slammed?? or that mine has more class to it??

BTW if you think that green one is bad......

this is worse...

Dex and Toog, I hate to ruin it for you but that blue accord is NOT a chop. I have seen this car in person at a local show and yes it is real, GS lights molded in on an Accord, and next to it was a Civic with RSX head and tail lights....must be the new trend, but unfortunately its real

those conversions don't come cheap. money that could've been well spent to make a good looking accord. and they can look good, folks.

don't these guys get embarrassed and look away any time a real GS passes by? when i had knock-off rims, it'd be horrible for me to see the real ones

considering millions of ricers are not embarrassed of their car, I don't think having GS headlights will make them blush (hey maybe he's even proud of himself for having GS lights)

OK, since the subject seems to be "enhancements with questionable taste", I saw on the 91 fwy tonight a black GS300 with 14" or 15" gold wire wheels with a HUGE offset so they were sticking out about 6" from the body. To top it all off, this person had covered the entire top half of the car in white vinyl !!! It doesn't get more ghetto that that...


When I passed this car initially, I slammed on the brakes just to make sure that I had seen what I thought I saw. I just had to be sure that it really was a GS. I am going to assume though that this person is NOT a CL member.

LMAO @ Gary Coleman Pimpin' Edition. But that first pic was just too much. Try driving a car like that in NY. He'll leave pieces of the ground effects all over the street. Does anybody recognize the kit on there? I wonder how we'd judge it if it wasn't lowered and didn't have those rims on it.
