THE ZENITH

Here it is, the ZENITH. What was originally supposed to be a modern interpretation of a Re-amemiya kit for an LC500 evolved into a fully re-imagined body for the LC500, paying homage to  styles used by Re-amemiya and Veilside. I chose this specific car because I was really interested to see how one could take inspiration from late 90s and 2000s Japanese body styles and then use/ change them to suit the angular, unique design language that Lexus uses. The front bumper itself is my modern interpretation of the Re-amemiya AD facer 9 for a modern Lexus, instead of an RX7. The frontal side vents continue onwards to the side through another vent which mimics the design of the bumper. The rear pays homage to the LFA and the Toyota FT-1 while using elements from the Greddy 7. I wanted to create something really unique for the front, something which really had a meaning behind it. The 10 individual “eyes” / lights on the front resemble a spider, including the sides of the main middle intake, which resemble the pinchers. My creation sits on some beautiful Racinghart Cx rims. The whole kit is accompanied by a unique Audio system, a collaboration with the company FUSION. The trunk has been completely swapped out for a custom system. The interior door panels are also custom, with huge fusion speakers mounted to it, including a custom dash and separate speaker control screen accompanied audio dials. The interior itself has been re upholstered to suit the build, with light pastel purple seats and panels.
