Towards the end of the season last summer, we were ecstatic to be given the opportunity to shoot two cars we’ve been interested in shooting since our Sunday School Show & Shine, a pair of Lexus LS luxury sedans owned by none other than PoorForm members Jimmy Bailey and Daniel Kowall. For a little background on PoorForm, they are a group of friends, also based out of Calgary, Alberta who we feel, embody that perfect fusion of high end luxury with true motorsport performance. Their slogan, “Ruining perfectly good cars and subjecting them to what they weren’t for…Poor Form indeed.” is certainly a slogan we can all attest to with our own builds, so it’s only fitting that we showcase the builds that the members of Poor Form have to offer; starting with these two Lexus LSs.
For those who may remember Daniel and his BMW M3 GTR that we featured not to long ago, we are pleased to showcase his daily driver, a 2004 Lexus LS430. When we say daily driver, we are talking about the real deal, driven both in the winter and summer on the daily. Sitting slammed courtesy of Tanabe Z40 Coilovers paired with Work LS406 wheels, simplicity definitely goes a long way especially with the clean cut lines that are featured on Lexus’s flagship model.

Next up we have Jimmy Bailey’s 2001 Lexus LS430 sitting low on a Datasystems ASC680 air ride controller, combined with Work’s Gnosis HS203 in a custom gold finish. As this car is also Jimmy’s daily driver, Jimmy’s LS is equipped with quite the arsenal of in car electronics. For a little performance, Jimmy has implemented a custom exhaust set up with 5Zigen fireball mufflers, and for stopping power, slotted race rotors with Endless SSM brake pads.
