Custom Lexus IS200 (IS430 by Rides)

Hello guys,

Last project that come to an end after almost 1 year and a half.
This project was inspired by the show Rides on Discovery Channel. The original car is the Lexus IS model with a lot of changes and the motor of the Ls430.
Hope you like it!

See and... all critics are welcome.

Very Cool!!

This was the V8 IS IIRC, that had been rumored to go into production, but never made it. The model looks great!

Re: Custom Lexus IS200 (IS430 by Rides)

so does it actually have the motor? if so, let's see it!!! looks awesome. one suggestion though, it's sitting a little high, even for stock suspension, I'd think about lowering it a bit.

Looks good. I'm in the process of building and modifying one now, yet to post up the WIP though....got any more pictures of the interior? Oh and I like the little tax disk in the window too.

Unfortunaly no rsxse240... the kit is exactly the one KevHw as in is signature, and he doesn´t bring any motor.

KevHw... the pics of the interior, and the chassis.





Thank you all!

I guess that's the cool thing about curbside kits, you can claim that it has ANY engine you want!!!!

I'm building a viper V-10 powered toyota celica...but it's curbside!! hahaha

Re: Custom Lexus IS200 (IS430 by Rides)

looks good. very close to the one on rides. i think it would look more like the one on rides if it had duel exhaust and didn't have the exhaust. but it still looks good. i like it. good job
