It looks like satan set an s-class and an Ls next to each other and beat them with an ugly stick until they became fused together, then used the by-product to make small children cry.

I tried to be nice about it earlier, but that car is a horror. The front view sealed the verdict for me

you guys need to get out more... there are more ways to build a car than keeping it stock and adding some basic bolt ons. in japan, this car is really not out of the ordinary. tons of cars are built like this over there. that's what they do. it's not wrong it's just different.
look up bosuzoku cars and you'll see what i'm talking about. would i go that route? no, it's not my style, but i'm not going to rip on the car which was someone's pride and joy, and basically their life for a few years.

If the car was modded in Japan, that might explain the lack of performance mods. They have extremely tight emission controls, which make performance mods (of the kind designed to produce more power) less practical. But I'd expect whoever buys it in Britain to make it go, e.g. get it chipped, mess with the exhaust, etc. The way it is now, it must be strange to see it go by and barely hear the engine.

Front looks fine to me, just as it ought to, given the overall look. Keep in mind most of you folks are tied to a very particular aesthetic. Personally, even 20" wheels looked funny (bug-eyed) on an LS to me, but I've gotten used to it hanging around here.
