Default wow.....what a sad day for the gs family

i found this while doing some research on Tom's Rear Lower Bar and 6 point from a google search, check out some of the interior pics, not to bad IMHO, not my style but i would rock THIS car with a few simple mods. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2254369/2000-lexus-gs

I love the GT-C's on the first one.

For the second one, I think it's one of those situations where you should kill it before it lays an egg. What makes me sad is that it has Texas registration and inspection stickers in the window.

Not to mention, the comments posted on the second one's page aren't helping his case.

I don't get all the hatin. To me, it's just as cheesy and played out as the goofy 'VIP Style' junk. I dislike most flashy stuff anyways. Just this dudes style. Props to him for going that far and sticking out. Serving the same purpose as anyone else who tries to make their car flashy...

In general I take a 'different strokes' approach... what I like isn't the same as what everybody else likes all the time and that's perfectly OK!

In this case I can't move beyond the tail lights. Maybe its the pics, but it looks like the owner dremeled out the tail light plastic and filled it with aluminum foil (same with the wheels under the spokes). I've seen folks using fluffy clouds of cotton under their cars at shows, but aluminum foil filling is a new one.

Agreed, "VIP Style" is just as bad in my opinion.

People in the low-rider crowd think they can throw multi-spoke (dayton) looking rims on any car.
This car looks like a few I've seen in Long Beach / LA area with the low-rider theme. Doesn't make sense.
So sad....

Definitely unique. I don't care for the wheels, but I like that you could pull an old 007 technique and shred the hell out of the side of someone's car if you had an issue on the street or freeway
