I like it, it's unique and that white car pulls it off quite nicely.

I hope Phushizzle and Tony don't mind me stealing their photos.
BOOERNS!

Don't do it; the highbeams complete the look, and its a very distinctive and sexy look that I think Lexus needs to catch onto for the rest of their lineup. Just look at the new GS; you can really see the lineage there from our cars and its doing wonders for its appeal.

it looks very awkward since our headlights and grille are so small

took me some time to think but it kinda finishes the Toyota/Lex look, with the GS300 and even the RX models coming with flashy highbeams, its a toyota thing and i think they look great and distinguishable. Only way I would shave em is if I took off the smaller front grille, the car was black and I blacked out the headlights for a mad max look, but thats the only way.

I get so many random people on the streets complimenting my car. They dont even realize its 11 years old. There's really no reason to change our SC's styling; it looks just perfect from every angle. If you start messing around with little things like this, it'll destroy the whole car.

Erwin Lui, one of the chief designers of our cars, once said "you can't just change one surface, or you have to change every surface".

It doesn't look bad but it's not something I would do...I'd spend money/time elsewhere
