Default Mods gone wrong (I almost cried)...pics inside

1.) Why is part of the trunk painted gray?
2.) The powdercoat (or whatever it is...) on the wheels was terrible...sort of looked like brake dust almost
3.) DUB 5 badge on the rear...seriously???
4.) Painted rear reflectors that are black? Doesn't flow very well IMO
5.) Rear roundel is blue/white, front roundel on the hood is black/white. Ran out of stickers?
6.) Bird shit on the trunk topped it off nicely lol

haha totally misunderstood the thread at first, thought it was your car you dropped off and weren't happy with the results. its almost like they're going backwards on modding, things done last first and vice versa

You think that is bad?

My wife drives an SC430 and I frequent the Lexus forum. Check out this mod on an SC430 with 30" rims. Imagine the work that needed to be done to the body, suspension and wheel wells to create this abortion?

Geez, what did that poor car do to deserve that kind of treatment?

LOL yeah looks bad.. where in VA is this at? I've def not seen that car in the road.

Also, I guess AchtungE60 hasn't seen this post yet. Prepare for an emotional plea for understanding and how you're a sophomoric high schooler who tries to identify with the in crowd for posting a negative opinion on someone else's car.
