Personally, I think it's cool, but costs too much and involves too much work. Plus, doesn't look all to great either.

UCF30 front does NOT look right on an earlier model, its not wide/bulbous enough to support those MASSIVE headlights and wideboy grill....

It's a retarded looking LS430. Reminds me of a frog. Or pocahantas (she has her eyes too far apart)

LOL! Exactly. Those kits just do not flow at all with the car...

Have you seen the sideview of that kit? The front end extends out freakishly long too.

Personally I think the 98 nose looks better.

To a true Lexus LS hardcore fan, yeah that would look retarded. But to someone who just likes cars in general, that looks hot.

Definitely a one off and cool - I'd prefer a great body kit to all that work though.

The front overhang on many of these conversions is too long. I dunno if I've seen a 2-GS yet. (?)

I'm not feeling the sides, or the Mercedes/Lorenser front bumper (notice where the sonar sensors would usually be on the mercedes...).
