I think it's fine. Why not? If you want a luxury hotrod, why not? I'll bet it's had quite a few mods we can't see too; probably the fastest LS in town. Probably needs new rims every time it runs over a twig, but some of you already know about that. Not something I would try to do, but I'm impressed.

You think anyone with that kind of of money and obsession would not mess with the innards, PD? Seems likely to me, but it's just a guess.

The roof and window line, no mistaking that.

A pretty wild looking car. Doesn't appeal to me, but then again, I'm pretty happy with a stock LS, so I don't require much to be happy with the appearance of an LS. I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder or whoever decides to modify the car.

I have to imagine that this car can't help but draw a lot of attention wherever it goes.

Reminds me of some of those 80s AMG designs for Mercedes sedans gone insane.

I highly doubt that something of that much volume could even pass a Semi Truck...could you imagine the drag coefficient on that car? Holy crap

Thumbs down

<------------This user just shot himself in the leg



Looks like a S class rammed the LS and they welded it together

I can't say it is something i would ever fathom but change the colour and remove the extra terrestrial wing and it is not too bad. Imagine it in black so the vents are more subtle and it is not bad.

no for several reasons:
-performance mods for the LS are NEARLY non-existant, and this is a relatively old picture (i saw it several years ago, or at least one thats RIDICULOUSLY similar to it)
-MOST cars of this type (bosozoku-style almost) NEVER have performance mods.
-MOST wacky-exterior modded japanese cars (this is in japan iirc) arent performance modded.
