No idea who Natalie is but the car looks good. Are those OEM wheels that have been refinished? Also how was the chrome window trim refinished? I like the stormtrooper look with the black on white.

Those are aftermarket wheels. And I'm pretty sure the chrome was blacked out with vinyl.

Just so I'm clear, the car isn't driven with the wheels tucked way into the fender, right? I'm not a big fan of that look. Looks good in the motion photos where the wheels look normal. To each their own.

yeah aired out/tucked wheels looks like a broken car and RICE imo.

Not that I care, but how much do people spend on doing such modifications? I kind of like the way my 2013 GS 450H looks stock. Thought about the F-Sport grille, but then it doesn't match the lower plastic pieces next to the fog lights. I wouldn't mind some functional upgrades inside though. But like someone said, to each his own. Have fun. I doubt it does much to make the car faster than the normal GS.

Air ride suspension and rims like that are not cheap at all. Probably at least $5k

5K for rims/tires and air ride installed? More like 8-10k.

Better make sure those front wheels are straight when you sit'er down... I imagine that would be a costly mistake!

air suspension is like $4-5K installed. Rims and tires go up as high as you want lol. I was looking at a set of Brixtons but they were $8k for a set!
