Julian Nicasio: 2006 Lexus GS 430

Julian Nicasio was stationed in Hawaii when he started noticing all of the amazing VIP builds in the area. About a year ago he decided to pick up a 2006 Lexus GS 430 to use as a starting point for a VIP build of his own. With his own company, NATJU GARAGE, Nicasio and his wife were able to do all of the modifications to the car themselves. Nicasio says there is still much more to do before he considers it completely finished.
