lexus 430 luxy (best model yet so far)

ok since my eclipteg is stripping for a few days i figured i whould finish this one up i started on it a few weeks ago. i took some advice from you guys and did 2 things i have never done befor, i did panel lines, and black window rubber. the car is painted with plasti-kote auto paint and cleared with testors and then waxed with meguiers cleaner wax. it has massive 20" rims that are kit suppliyed. it has t.v's in the headrests and the interior is sprayed in flat grey. it is almost done right now but it has masking tape holding stuff together for a few hours but later this afternoon i will take it out side and take some finished pics of it for you guys. i am very proud of myself with this model, and belive me you can expect all my models from now on to have those 2 small detials. i hope you enjoy. ohh and the camber and suspenion is adjustable so please dot complain about camber,lol .

Re: lexus 430 luxy (best model yet so far)

I vote for no camber, and I believe that the particular Toyota you are working with is a 400 not a 430. And I think the wheels are Brabus Monoblock III multipiece 19's

On the plus side, I LOVE THE PAINT!!! This is your best paint result to date and the panel lines as welll as window rubbers do make a huge difference in the overall appearance! Kudos to you sir!

here is one sucky outdoor pic, i will try to get more later today or tommarow. the wheels will be changed as i sold these ones. it will get some 19's or 18's to let it sit lower cus the 20's hit the interior in the rear and its as low as it will go in the pic.

the rims have been changed to 19 inch scaras, but they are too wide, also in the pic that is as low as it will go. i got to try to find some better rims to let it drop all the way down.
