The Lexus LFA is not flawless, but if ten years of Japanese engineering couldn't make it better, your new wheels and a vinyl wrap won't either.P

Quite a prestigious list. I agree with it and also Maclaren F1 at no. 1 totally makes sense.

Counterpoint

In the future when satellite radio and Lexus Enform services are long gone, it would be great to remove the roof rumors from the config 3 cars and repaint the roofs after filling in whatever holes are there to provide a cleaner look

I think anybody that wants to modify the sound of this car is insane.

The perfect car is one we as enthusiasts don't have to modify.

That's not a mod. That's OEM everywhere else except North America.

Tires have been the single most weak point of the Lexus LFA. I cannot imagine how much faster it would be with super sticky racing slick compound tires.

Wheels & tires are as far as I'd go with the LFA. DONE.
