MODIFIED TOYOTA ALTEZZA SXE10 (Lexus)
This is a car that was for sale, it sold now but it is an excellent chance to see this Lexus or Toyota before is goes off to its new owner. It has been modified to a certain extent, but clearly the main thing is the green paintwork, its not going to be to every ones taste and yet somehow its suits this car.   Take a look at those wheels too, they are chromed and because there ...

1999 Lexus Aristo – Orido Style
We do not get the chance to slip any Lexus models in here, well there may have been the odd one or two, but nothing like this one I think. This is the handy work of one Manabu “Max” Orido and by all accounts, the time and money have been well spent on this car.   One of the good things about this build is that a lot of visible parts such as the grill have been cannibalised ...

2003 Winning Lexus IS300
This is famous car, so I suppose that means that the owner Billy Shea is also famous. They say that this is probably the only IS300 that is known by all fans of import cars, as this one came in first at the Nisei Week Show Off and that is no mean feat either as it is the competition that all car owners in LA and probably the entire US want to win.   The work on this car is bar ...

The Lexus GS (Carbon GS)
Executive cars do not normally make for a great build; they are built for comfort, and have far too many gadgets and features to even be thought of as a something like custom build. Then eventually something happens that turns our world upside down and this is one of those cars, you only have to look at it to see that this car means business.   It may be black, which may not b ...

The 2009 Lexus IS by Brian Fox
First of all the question is who takes out a new luxury car and strips it down, only to rebuild it? Normally the average person in the street would be pulling their hair out and shouting “Why!” But looking at the finished product it is clear to see that any worries about what the owner Brian Fox was thinking about should completely evaporate along with any idea that import ...

The Fresh Moves 2007 Lexus SC430
When Toyota brought out the Lexus range of cars, these were considered luxury vehicles designed for executives who did not want to buy a Mercedes for some reason or other. But over the years the range has expanded to take on the likes of Porsche and other high performance cars, so getting your hands on a Lexus SC430 that would be it, wouldn’t it?   For some people yes, but n ...

The 1999 Lexus GS400
The Lexus GS400 is an unusual car because at first glance you would have thought that it was a luxury vehicle that has been designed for the company executive to cruise around in. It is true that is the cars purpose, but hand it over to someone like the Johnny Tran and the whole car takes on a completely different stand point.   After adding the Junction Produce body kit consi ...

The perfect Lexus IS F
This may be a Lexus but done hold that against it, they are not all built for the suits who cruise around at 30 mph hoping that they look cool, this is the “IS F” and although F does stand for so many things, in this case it just has to be “Fast” Underneath the bonnet, there is a beautifully crafted five litre V8 2UR-GSE engine, it is the same as the 4.6 version in th ...
