I have seen many custom cars, and one that really caught my eye is a Lexus GS430 from Swift Car Club. I finished this Charger a while back for my sister, but it has just been collecting dust on my shelf so I decided to make it look like Lexus below. I also changed the suspension and modified the engine bay, and cut the roof (obviously). Plans at the moment include custom center enclosure front tilting hood and side tilting trunk, maybe even suicide rear doors, but the back doors is just and idea at he moment. I am also planning to do a custom paint job like the one in the video, maybe (crossing my fingers). I know some of you will not like it, but I have made race cars, lowriders, stock cars, even a donk, and now it is time to try something else.

I tried to embed the video, but it wanst working so click the link below

This is the car in the video.

Sprayed a little flat black, and got the stace l wanted. Opened up the bottom grille a little, in my opinion it looks a little better.

I tried doing the suicide doors, but the posts kept on breaking on me. I decided to skip doing the doors on this one maybe on the next one, they were just frustrating me because they kept snapping.

Finally decided on color scheme. Black and yellow. Yellow on the top and black on the bottom. Top has been sprayed, now time to wait and mask it off to spray the black.
