Looks like you have been living under a rock?

This is a custom color by TEAM LEXUS, It was shown at the Chicago Auto show.

Plenty of other pictures of this car. Just search, there is also pictures of it in the modification thread.

I don't see that color as an option available on Lexus.com.

How can you get it (from the factory)?

uschardcor......Is this really something to get this upset about? Calm down. There are better ways to get your point across.

Easy dude!

I did read your post and was not clear what you meant by "its not custom, you can buy it if desired.".

Did you consider that maybe what you wrote wasn't 100% clear to other people? There's no reason to make a personal attack here.

Seriously, you got issues buddy.

I NEVER said it was PRODUCED by Team Lexus did I? I never SAID Team Lexus MADE the paint did I? I just said it was done by Team Lexus. Meaning they BUILT the VEHICLE, Never said they PAINTED IT or anything.

If you think I made a huge mistake, please tell me accordingly. Granted I should have worded it differently like they built the vehicle, and it was a custom painted.

When I mean custom painted I meant CUSTOM as in NOT FACTORY FROM LEXUS.

Take a anger management class please

Looks to me like you are partially to blame for the misunderstanding. You said in your previous post that you can purchase it if desired. Most people would assume from the factory. Instead of getting all up in arms over something that YOU were unclear about, how about telling the less informed HOW they can get this color???

19x8.5F, 19x9.5R. +38F +42R if i remember correctly. the rear tire well of the 2is is pretty damn big. u could snuggly fit a 10.5 back there if so desired. the offsets might be off in the rear, it might be 46, but with that lip im pretty sure its 42.

the car does look sick, but having a 2" drop and 4k wheels helps!
