If this had better fitment, I'd love it. Even the wheels are growing on me a bit. But I still can't see myself going that odd on wheels. I still love me the shiny lips. If this had black headlight housings I'd like it even more.

Good stuff gato
Anyone, do they use fender flares to make the fenders this way? Or is it just radiused?

Radiused then fiberglass flares were added. Atleast it appears that way. You can do it with the factory metal too if the body shop is nasty enough

That's how mine are radiused..factory flare cut, fender cut higher, factory flare reattached at new height and metal worked in.

But the chrome tail light trim separates it from the body and really makes it look like a whole other car. The Bentley speeds have chrome tail light trim and it looks dope!!
I swear one in every 3 people has a W221 AMG bumper!

Yes, the jag fender is already similar to that so cutting the fender and reattaching it would be a little easier to get that outcome. THe GS fender is nothing like that though so I figured they probably used fiberglass flares.
And I actually like the chrome trim on the tail lights for some odd reason.

that may be true........but just so i dont get a car that everbody has, i'll keep messing around. better to be exclusive over plenty and played. i could care less what wheels are turning it as long as it has a classy look, from japan, and is the flagship of the brand.
i take back my comment now cause that orange sentia is a nice change.

If you want to get them bigger and they are 3 piece, talk to Image wheels and they can make you custom barrels with a sloped lip so you can have 19 centers and 20" lips. I was going to do that with my old 18" Super RS. I wanted to make them 19's but didn't want to drop 3K on them.. but IMAGE can make them. So it might be worthwhile to look into them if you're serious about it. :biggthumpup:

[QUOTE=beangrower;257176]my mistake...i meant the biggest they made were 19's...that's why i neva buy for the lexus.
that's what i meant to say. i will? instock...or on car? uh oh....[/QUOTE]
If you want to get them bigger and they are 3 piece, talk to Image wheels and they can make you custom barrels with a sloped lip so you can have 19 centers and 20" lips. I was going to do that with my old 18" Super RS. I wanted to make them 19's but didn't want to drop 3K on them.. but IMAGE can make them.
