it looks so, outta proportion, looks well molded, but wouldn't be caught driving in it, unless was heading to garage to get it fixed.

No, Thats the old Lexus ES300 lights, with what looks like part of a camry bodykit molded up front. Why would someone do that? They're not even nice looking lights to mold in. ???????

I have seen this car in person and met the guy its a early 90s Lexus ES 300 front end..





There were 2 cars done like this in Tampa,this RX7 and a Corrola ae86 GTS .I bet the guy who did this kit was probally one of the Serrano brothers who had a shop and made fiber glass kits by hand just about any style you want.This guy used to work for Kaminari,and he has probally 3 diffrent full first gen kits..and I cant find him anywhere anymore.


These cars looked good for its time,while most of you were still collecting Hotwheels.

Mid 90s

So basically it's a Toyota Camry front end...

Toyota Camry (w/ Optional V6) = Lexus ES 300
