Are my missing something Looks like a stock LS430 with different wheels

Personally, I would tint the windows and find better wheels for it. Otherwise it looks fine...

It's an 01 LS430 with minor changes like 18" Lexus ISP Mode wheels, red/clear taillights, chromed trunk bar, chrome grille, exhaust tips, V8 badges etc. Just wanted an opinion...thanks

Beautiful color car. Needs tint, stock 18" wheels are better suited than what is installed and a bit of drop. The chrome trunk lid really shows nicely from behind.

The car is a PERFECT Candidate for a FULL JP Kit or WALD Kit.... That would rock!!

Nice color Combo

Awesome color, very warm. Not crazy about wheels.

Dude, dont you know to be cool, you need 45 inch wheels with 56 inch lip, if you cannt afford those sort of rims, sell your house, or save every paycheck for years, also having 6 exhaust tips aiming towards the sky is also a must these days!!! LOL. Dont forget, you are aiming for and ALARMING look. Dont thank me.
