This Lamborghini Is Covered In What?? Swarovski Crystals…

Tokyo has always been one city that sets itself apart when it comes to insane car customization. We’ve seen many a crazy trend here in the States that started in Tokyo, including “stanced” cars with extreme wheel camber and drifting, which started in Japan as well.

One thing that the Japanese car culture has always featured is over the top lighting and “flashiness”. Be it huge fender flares, crazy cartoon graphics or massive canards and wings, the Japanese always find new and creative ways to take things to extremes. Many of those trends come to the States, although we tend to water them down and adopt a more subtle version of the original Japanese idea.

SupercarBlondie, the popular YouTube personality, made her first trip to to Tokyo in over a decade, and immediately found a Lamborghini that not only features some of that insane lighting Tokyo’s car culture is known for, but it’s also decked out with thousands of shimmering Swarovski crystals. We’ve seen cars before that were completely covered with crystals, but this one uses them a little more selectively, as accents instead of complete cover. The effect is marginally more subtle, but still grabs the attention of any passersby thanks to is glittering shimmer.

The car’s owner, who has a shop where the customizes vehicles for a living, says that the cops do give him tickets for the light show, and I can certainly understand why as soon as he flips them on, as they are completely over the top, but in the best possible way. While they may be a bit much, they’re cleanly installed and look pretty cool, there’s just a lot of lighting going on, which I have to assume is what draws the attention of the authorities.

Let us know what you think, is this a trend you’d like to see. I’d personally love to do a tricked-out lighting setup on pretty much any car I’m driving, as long as they look as cool as these do!
