We need to see more pictures of the car at different angles with more ambient lighting

That's a paint job that you don't see everyday.

I personally dont like the hood.

Looks like they forgot to paint it or you ran out of $$$ and couldn't afford to finish the job. Sorry, I just don't understand the "primer" look. I'm sure it looks better than pics can capture.

No offense to you or your car, it's still a Lexus!

Looks good. I saw you need an aggressive kit to match the hood.

i think it looks good with that hood and all... maybe just needed a more aggresive front lip and drop it a bit more and it should look on point.

Car looks good.. agree with the general public, but that's what makes your car unique and all of us human. We have our own expectations and taste. Keep doing what you do, don't let "us" discourage you!
