DeviantART Lexus IS 350 To Debut At SEMA
The winner of the competition organized by Lexus and deviantART, was announced in August this year. The participants had to boost the IS' already aggressive exterior styling with even edgier designs. Now it is time for the winning design to make its official debut as a multi-dimensional build in the Lexus booth at the 2013 SEMA Show.
The most praised design was Robert Evans' one, and it includes one-of-a-kind aero styling package, a carbon interior package, special three-piece wheels and a custom paint job. VIP Auto Salon helped bring Evans' rendering into reality with 10 weeks.
Another benefit, next to having his creation come to life, the talented first place winner, received a one-year lease of a 2014 Lexus IS F SPORT, $2,000 USD, a trip to this year's SEMA Show to see his IS concept on display, 8,000 deviantART points, and a one-year premium membership to deviantART.
