There is a lot that can be said about the owner of this Lexus; Kam Vaswani. Kam is just like you and me in that he loves cars, loves modding and loves our scene. Then again he is nothing like you and me in the fact that he sees this lifestyle as a series of challenges in which he only wants to conquer. Oh, and conquered he has.

He built this masterpiece because, “…thieves never get me down.” After having his K20 EG stolen and most likely stripped to shreds; Kam didn’t give up. Taking 1st Place at HIN Miami in the EG meant he could build a car that was recognized and appreciated; and even though the EG was gone, the bragging rights that it was the first K20 EG built in Florida still remained. A loss of this nature would cause most of us to have a conniption, however Kam just saw it as minor setback; haters gon’ hate!

Acquiring this GS300 about 2 years ago, he set fourth on a massive modding mission that was going to make all the haters cry. He has put insurmountable time and effort into this project and is now relishing in what is the culmination of his build. Acquiring a list of sponsors that looks more like the vendor section of a Formula D event and compiling a mod list longer than my driving record are only the beginning.

Kam still has mounds of plans for this build who’s paint color was inspired by Javed Gul, Team Solo’s president; and he would like to thank all the people that have helped him get were he is; Aclass Paint and Autobody , Falken Tire, Meguiars , RideTech, Rsellos Photography, AutoFashionUSA, D2 Racing, Vipdout and State of Stance.
