Lexcort? Could be the next big thing...

Altezza / IS200 - same difference.

IS200 is the Export version, Altezza is the jap version, only difference being a tubby'd 4 cylinder engine.

Aren't they badged as Toyotas over there?

Yes over there they are toyota altezzas. The export version is the lexus IS200. not sure why as the other lexus cars dont have toyota brothers do they. They are not lexus lights,they are "lexus style lights" Only lexus's are luxus's you loon,however the IS200 rear clusters have inspired other cars to do crystal rear lights,Other lexuss and a few Mazdas for instance.

Ive put these on becasue I think they look better than the red ones ford put on.

lexus lights. so last season, black is the new lexus

My latest mod, courtesy of Dave a.k.a (Davespages) of www.Ford-force.com

Amparo blue sprayed and heat treated "ZETEC" cam cover that'll fit both my engines

Rear bumper is coming off tomorow to have the spats blended in and painted,also gonna make the hole in the bottom the bumper one big hole,instead of havin slats in it.Had a question for u b4 dazza but u werent on,forgot it now. Dam

Bidding on these. 16 inch mondie Si wheels. Cant afford to pay much more than my current bid so i hope know1 else sees them in the next 4 days lol.
