Post Lexus at it again with tennis ball fuzz-covered IS350

Andy Roddick, your new ride awaits. Lexus has followed up its golf ball-dimpled LS 460 L built to commemorate the automaker's sponsorship of the U.S. Open earlier this year with another uniquely-finished car that's got us scratching our heads. In this case, the Lexus in question is covered in tennis ball fuzz in the traditional yellow-green hue.

This fuzzy fluorescent IS350 was on display last weekend in New York City during the ongoing US Open festivities. Sorry tennis fans, we don't imagine this will be a factory option, though we do wonder if the finish could alleviate the pesky unmanned shopping carts that leave dents and scratches in our cars at the local grocery store. See? There is a practical application after all.

The boys from Kicking Tires happened to be in town while the Open was going down and they snapped off a few shots of the car in question. Take a look at a few of the shots in our gallery below and then check out Kicking Tires for the rest.

Yes, we saw this car earlier, assuming it's the fuzzy car. Lexus is making a good showing at the US Open. Go Lexus.

Yes, but expect damage to the body.

Me too!

I guess Andy Roddick has lots of time to ride around in one of these now since he's been out of the tourny since Saturday, or was it Friday...?

The car in that picture is not an '09.
