Why are they trying to make a Lexus look like a Merc? That looks absolutely stupid.

it just doesn't flow with the rest of the car ..Are car have more a bubble shape the newer merchave a little more of a leaf shape boxy look ...if that make sense in a design concept ...it just to over aggressive in both the front and rear , maybe a little more tone down then yea or more of polish smooth rim to draw attention away from the bottom then we all have a show car in the making

They should've gone with completely different wheels if they were after the AMG look...

IMO, if they wanted AMG, they should have:

No VIP stance
Beefy tires
LOTS of power
And obviously different wheels.
AND the extra vent on top of the rear diffuser is complete overkill and looks horrendous.

to all who have not seen this kit..

Its in the VIP Magazine in japan... i believe its the previous month if not this month... Obviously this is VIP in japan. JDM VIP is totally different compared to USDM VIP...

if anything our USDM VIP is the older style of JDM VIP... just my opinion

to be honest I dont think it looks that bad, I kinda like it I seen alot worse kits on here
I like the thin lights but i gotta say the car looks way drastic on the bottom and then preety plain uptop.. maybe with a black roof carbon fiber hood or something it would look better

The front has too much going on. But I like the sides & the rear. Overall It would grow on me.
