hey i know this is nothing to do with our cars but it's pretty drool-worthy and ant might like it, i know its certainly made me consider an upgrade to a 161

lol lone guy flying the 161 flag!!

thats been out a while now, it looks okay but somehow the front wheel doesnt look centred? i dunno what is with that, but there is 1 guy in the US who had it done (think he was sponsored) called PandaGS or something on the forums (CL etc), his looks even better than the demo car cause his is black. but it still has the 'front wheel not centred' thing.

i wouldnt mind doing it though cause im not convinced i like the front of my car! but i guess the bug eye thing is a a bit unusual..

I'm very surprised that I actually really like it... could be done a bit better though. Paint looks a little mismatched in top right photo but that could be lighting. Front wheel looks a little far back. Could be the kit that sticks out a bit. Also has too much chrome accents on the front.

Apart from that, works pretty well.

the chrome on the front is all standard though...but agree the nose seems stick out a bit far

i like it, i'm seriously considering selling the 147 to do it too, my only question is whats involved with fitting the gs350 headlights, n do you have to buy the grille too?

That looks pretty awesome...but I agree with Ant that the front wheel seems to be too rearward even though it looks like it's centred if you look at the top of the wheel.

I think it's more to do with the gap in front of the front wheel making it look out of whack.

you can send Vertex-Aus an email, they replied to me quite quickly when i emailed them before about a rear wing for my car.

otherwise if you have a look for PandaGS430 posts on ClubLexus.com forums he made a topic for his car with photos an i think there was some discussion in there on the conversion.

funnily enough someone just posted a topic with the exact vertex-aus link on CL today. here's the link to the guys thread when he unveiled the car-
