Man, if he wanted to destroy something beautiful, all he had to do was take a $2 Sharpee to an art gallery . This is this guy's sixth or seventh (and hopefully final) rendition of a "custom SC". Never thought I'd describe it this way, but here are his 'humble beginnings'. Looks like he finally ran out of ways to abuse a Lexus coupe....

As R said, I think I've seen like 4 or 5 iterations of this dude, and this last one probably looks the 'best' of them all, and I see he finally fixed that steering wheel, does anyone remember the one he had with the top part cut up??

Hah! You'd figure with all the effort he put into this car that he'd at least get the trunk shocks working:

I always wonderd what would happen if someone with no class got ahold of a classy car. Maybe Fox should make a show out of it. Give this guy a Lambo and see what he does. The trick is, if America votes that they hate it .... he looses the car. Trust me Fox .... he will loose the car.

Is this that same car? The one that was almost this color with wires?

I am hating those wheels and the ragtop.
Then the multimedia is too much....and the wood steering wheel does not match the wood in the car. But if it makes him/her happy, then that is what counts. Just too over the top for my taste.

If it was done to look OEM, then I would say Nice Job.

Just my $.14

Those wheels are AWFUL....worse than anything else. And to add injury to insult, those thick spokes and narrow openings between them may not be letting enough air flow through to adequately cool the brakes. it will be interesting to see how long the rotors last before they warp way out and the brake pads glaze over from heat.

Default Uncomfy Headrests?

Besides the fact that I am now sterile seeing this ATROCITY, and this dude should be hung by the ***** with fishing line from a street light in the parking lot of the next CL meet (and we all get piņata bats), I'm really curious to know...

What possessed this @$$hole to put TV's on the WRONG side of the headrests? I mean who can watch those screens? Oh wait, my bad... TV's in cars are not even meant to be watched anymore. It's about crazy kuZtUm mods, y0! Like on Pimp My Ride! TYTE!!! And they must not be very comfortable putting your head on them. I'd like to see the owner explain the split cranium to the paramedic when he gets rear ended because the driver of that bus was blinded by the sheer intensity of so much WACK in one place and that headrest cracked his empty skull in half.



I'm very offended. I'm too upset to even go over the rest of the things that bother me on that car. (EVERYTHING)
