   if nobody has mentioned mate, a lot of people (including myself) hate lexus lights (aka lex-arse lights) simply because they are too common and just look poo really! unless you have a silver car because i like them on silver cars!
   
   but get some photos of your beast up and lets have a look anyways! i would say alloys would be a definate first though! cant be taken seriously otheerwise lol

   Get a bit of colour coding on the go. Will make a difference. Get some wheels as mentioned above. Other than that i would keep it simple, unless you like the big bodykit think. What colour is it, and get some pics up.
