In this episode of Larry Chen, we are introduced to a truly unique and eye-catching 1988 Toyota Soarer. Now, the Soarer itself is not a common sight in the US, and this particular one has been modified in a low rider style that is simply fascinating. The owner, who had always dreamed of owning a Soarer, finally acquired one about five years ago. The car was already in the US and in great condition, with only 70,000 miles on the clock.
Now, let's talk about the modifications. The first thing that catches your eye are the custom brass flares, giving the car a distinctive and luxurious look. And those wheels, oh my! The owner opted for gold-plated 72 spoke Dayton wheels, which are not only visually stunning but also unique in their design. But here's the real kicker, these wheels are not your typical knockoffs, they are actually floaters. Yes, you heard that right. They stay still while driving, adding an extra touch of class and intrigue to the whole setup.
But it's not just the exterior that has received attention. The interior has been tastefully upgraded as well. The owner made a custom steering wheel out of twisted square stock, giving it a unique and sporty feel. And let's not forget about the air suspension system. The owner has cleverly placed the air tank in the back of the car, hidden behind a custom shelf. This allows for a functional four-passenger setup while maintaining the low rider aesthetic.
Overall, this modified Toyota Soarer is a true head-turner. From the custom brass flares to the gold-plated Dayton wheels and the attention to detail in the interior, this car is a testament to the owner's passion and creativity. It's a unique blend of luxury and low rider style that is sure to leave a lasting impression wherever it goes.
