Lexus is really getting into this whole SEMA (http://www.autoblog.com/category/SEMA/) thing. Besides the IS F, plenty of which we'll be showing you shortly, there was this slick GS 460 done up by long-time Toyota collaborator Five Axis. The Project GS (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/16/sema-preview-lexus-gs-460-by-five-axis/) is Troy Sumitomo's follow-up to last year's sweet IS F (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/la-2007-lexus-is-f-gets-fiveaxisetized/). It features a Five Axis widebody conversion slathered in PPG custom formulated Satin Titanium Pearl paint with onyx and papaya accents, a custom fabricated exhaust with dual finishers by Five Axis, Five:AD ONYX 20-inch wheels wrapped in Yokohama Advan concept tires, sport shocks, performance lowering springs and a high-performance Big Brake Kit.While the front fascia is a bit too Mazda concept-ish, the overall look is slick and stealth. Matte finishes are probably just at the end of their useful lifespan, but these guys do it right. Hit the jump for official details from Lexus and check out the gallery for more live shots in hi-res.
