Default Ughhhh! Why??????.....

Driving on the freeway today in LA and I was passing a Silver GS400 with some chrome wheels with lips on them. "This looks promising" I thought to myself. Then, as I was passing him, I noticed that the hood was not closed properly and thought maybe the car had some front end damage. To my shock and dismay, the car was indeed damaged - not by an accident - but by a grill insert that looked like it came from a Mitsubishi car. Why would someone degrade their nice Lexus to make it look like a Mitsubishi and to make matters worse, try to put it in with horrible fitment problems so that the hood cannot close properly??? Sad....

Some utilize the force as it was intended, while others just use damn flashlight & call themselves Jedi knight!!!

Sounds like you have a candidate to counsel. I hope your eyes & soul didn't take too much of a beating.

Later.

brent, it's LA, you find every piece of amazing story there. from what i can tell, a lot of times people try to be pretenders, have a GS, mod it, but not enough money. what to do? you try to pretend you modding it with style. but usually it appears to be modding without brain to a lot of people

Or... Perhaps the raised hood is part of his ram-air intake.
