I think the car looks good and if that is what his preference is so be it. Honestly it's no different that other cars that have been posted with body kits and wheels. And the LS overseas has the combination interior which some people like. To each his own.

I would call it more of taking a sample of the usual responses. I like everyone opinions, heck, this isn't even my car and of course everyone won't like it. But as far as the exterior goes, I don't see too many mods. It has a complete WALD kit, and the last time I checked, WALD makes some dayum good kits. Just as good as factory parts, I should know, I have one myself. Outside of that, all I see for exterior mods are the grill and the tail lights, so I ask, what's not clean about the kit? Now that being said, I don't particularly like the interior, but I'm sure it was done well and yes, a lot of LSs in Japan have different interior options of which I don't see where they were trying to be the the IS F. It's Lexus, there are going similarities between all the lines of cars, so who cares. Now the difference is, I don't just tear down the car like most do, overall it's not a bad looking car. At the end of the day, post what you like. But it's amazing how people will have quick negative comments on something modded but get crazy excited about posts of factory LSs. I'm just saying.

P.S. I have nothing against anyone here, especially since I know none of you, but I new my comments would be poking the "bees nest". Just wanted to see how many bees would sting.

i have no issues with the kit or the interior -- it's the wheel fitment, selection, and ride height that bother me. some more care is needed there haha

I went back again and I didn't see anything "negative". Some said they didn't like it, some said it's over done

Obviously, this type of LS is perfect for a show car
I don't mind the kit or the interior.

The only thing that bothers me is that grill, something you see on a domestics like the 300c, magnums.......
It just looks out of place on the luxury cars. I've seen them on the S class and it's also a mess.

I dont really like the wheels or the grille, and the interior would be neat with gray suede instead of red or maybe black suede insert with a white diamond stitch!
