Oh haha, I lose track of who I talk to sometimes. Sorry! I got 225s on mine and I love them.

people at red lights have asked me a few times what kind of car it was. one time i was walking out of walmart and some chick was taking a picture of it. not to mention the countless broken necks i've noticed when driving in areas where people are walking around. i think it's funny because the car is all stock, and with all that wheel gap, i think it looks quite terrible haha.

Probably less then 1% of the people in this world even notice wheel gap much less even know it exists.
They are all just concentrated on forums like this.

For the fifth or sixth time since I removed the badges, "Hey, man! I like your (Porsche, Ferrari, Jaguar)! Nice car!" - I also have the Buddy Club tails and staggered 19" wheels, but I mean... C'mon. Looks nothing like a Porsche, the only one I can understand is the Jaguar comments.

Although I did have one guy who kind of knew what it was tell me that my new Supra was really cool.

Number one reaction: "What kind of car is that? I can't tell."
To be fair, it has old-style Toyota emblems and the FR-S badge has been taken off. The rims still say Scion though (hopefully after tax season, new wheels possibly).

I have trouble finding mine because it hides behind all the SUVs and trucks.

...but it's also the real reason for the panic button, that and fucking with your looky-loo friends from inside the office.

It's your car and you can do whatever you want to it. I find it very distasteful, you even put managed to put a f sticker there. Rebadging as a Toyota is one thing, but a lexus?

No one says anything to me, probably because they see I am busy adjusting my mask, cape, and utility belt.
