Amazing how one simple design makes a car!!!
LOL When Lexus designed this car, they were not thinking about the tuners and modders out there, hence the impracticalness of such a design with wider wheels, flares/arches. This is a luxo cruiser first and foremost in its design.

Actually i saw one without hightbeams with a 97-00' front and it looked very good....

Photochop a 97 front without the highbeams and ackit.... I bet the opinions may change since

the newer spoiler has the grill...

I think it works on your car Em, but I don't see it flowing very well on the "average - everyday car". Noticed also you have decals in the filled areas. Done for sponsoship reasons or did the front "feel" to have dead space?

Eww... sorry but the Soarer needs those highbeams in place otherwise it looks quite funny. What might not look too bad is if the highbeams were deleted and the actual headlight housing made longer to cater for highbeams (kinda similar to the older ES300's) with the 97+ grille.
