The QX looks good as a stretch, but the FX's sporty look does not match well with a limo.

Good question, especially on a unibody.

There was a show a while back on TLC that had an inside look at how limos were created. They essentially cut the unibody in half, weld a couple of beams in place to hold the two halves together, and then custom fabricated a bunch of body panels to fit in to the stretched area. It's some crazy customization work, but the results generally turn out pretty nicely.
