the car models can be whatever, I'm just curious if anyone is dressing up their cheap cars as expensive ones or if this is an industry yet?

is there a legal hurdle?

is there a limit to car decision in general?

is this sort of car case business already a thing?

It sounds like maybe what you're actually looking for is a used Lexus. They are toyota drivetrains with luxury bodies.

I'm more curious if this sort of aesthetic vehicle casing is something people do, regardless of the brand.

I think the term is body swap. And it is a thing people do. I think I saw someone put a Honda Odyssey body onto a Tesla plaid frame a couple weeks ago. I think they said the key was finding 2 cars with a similar wheelbase
