I partnered with Hiraku Co. on this custom Lexus IS500 project that premiered in the Lexus booth at the SEMA 2021show.
The idea was to create a race-inspired street car with custom bodywork, bolt-on upgrades with some interesting one-off details.
Here are some early design concepts developed with feedback from client:

A graphics package had to be designed as well:
This is the final design:
The vehicle was then 3d scanned and I began the process of building models of the custom body parts for 3d printing.
