They probably cut the car in half, and stuck a limo body on it :P

Hadn't even noticed that until you brought it up. Looks like owner "cheaped out" when they bought the car originally. Appears to have the stock wheels from an '06 GS 300. Guess they thought no one would notice/know the difference. Actually pretty common for limo companies to buy the cheapest stock wheels at purchase time; especially since they know that they are about to invest close to another $175K getting the car stretched. Used to work for a limo company back in 95. Stretching a car by no means is cheap; especially if it is done right.
the doors look crooked
between the camera angle, and the extended body section, the doors do look crooked. Extended body section always throws off the visual dimensions of a car; especially ones with curves. For what I am sure they paid to have that stretched, can almost assure you, them doors better not be crooked. LOL!!!!

I dont see it in their fleet list on the website. Also wish they did the interior a little better like this stretch gs400.

The doors will always look crooked when you stretch out most cars. The reason is the way the doors are shaped. They start off low on in the front then they rise towards the back.
