We have taken a fully loaded 2007 Lexus 460 L (yes, the one that parks itself) and retrofitted it with:



Auto Couture Progressive Line Body Kit

22” Wheels

Vertical Doors – Prototype for this vehicle



The custom paint job (definitely NOT decals) is truly one of a kind deriving its inspiration from Japanese anime.

Renee of RS Custom Paints (www.reneescustompaints.com) professionally fabricated and designed the multi-dimensional, one-of-a-kind work of art,

you see here.

A classic example of an aborted attempt to redefine L-finesse.

That simply looks horrible and man the seller is really proud of the car. As the old saying goes "Whatever that guy is smoking I want some"

I think that is an error. He is asking for $25k due to the fact that he brought the vehicle value down with his mods

Funny I should find this particular forum thread. I actually attended the George Barris (creator of the General Lee, original Batman car, and many many others) auto show in 2008 and saw this vehicle up close and personal (George was photographed with it). I was very impressed with the artist's paint job, overall concept, and mods. This vehicle was the highlight of the entire show. For those who enjoy stock or race vehicles, I can see where you would not appreciate this vehicle. By the way...they are not flames...they are multi-layered and multi-dimensional fire. The artist is amazing and the photos do not do it any justice. Don't knock it until you've seen it in person; however, I followed your link and I'm sure the owner appreciates the free publicity you posted here...
