Default Amazing Soarer...need some answers

This is Karls Soarer, Located at PlanetSoarer.com I wrote to him with some questions in mind, but he never returned my mail. So im asking others to help. Does any one know whats been done to the hood, hedlights (little black strip on top), and mirrors. IF so, where can i get these things, their prices, and any other usefull information. Thanks,
Knut

The hood looks like the BN Sports Hood with 2 extra vents on the sides. The eyelids on the head lights are probably the Abflug eyelids.

Both are available on www.importfan.com

In my opinion that car wouldn't look good on the street. Too racy. Defeats the whole purpose of owning a Lexus.

Keep in mind this is from Australia where they are sold under the toyota nameplate, so it would be like having a supra here.. I see those mirrors on every other honda/etc around here, you can get them on ebay and you can even find them with LED's a la MB CLK or so..

yep, that car is rice to the max.
if he removes the hood, eye lid, mirror, and wing, it would look clean.

The car is ****in fast, no doubt about that. The wing may not be to everyone's taste. The eye-lids are custom, hood is carbon fiber with custom "rice vents"...to may if U ask me, and the kit is T&E Vertex Aero. I'm not sure what the wheels are. Some things need to be cahnged, but overall not a bad car.
