Airtime, I applaud you on taking that picture while driving - I presume with your cell phone. I looks like a canvass or suade rather than vinyl.

I feel bad for the initial poster now that folks are ragging on the concept. To each their own. I personally wouldn't do it, but I still see cars that have it done (even at car shows).

ha ha... true. I'm sure the OP wasn't expecting all this negativity. Hey, to each their own. The majority here likes lowering the LS430, I don't think it's fitting of an LS. A GS maybe... not an LS, but that's just me. Landau tops, they're good for old school caddies (not even new caddies) and town cars, but not LS'. JMHO.

OK, I have to admit, my brother once had a 76 Monte Carlo that had 7 layer of lacquered candy apple red and a with white landau top that looked super sharp. Wish I had a picture of that, you'll see how its done right

I've never seen a vinyl one like the OP is talking about.

I did find these pics though from www.pillings.com should anyone actually want to order this:


And a special one for AlexusAnja - somehow this just doesn't work even on a Sonata :

Default What is this hideous looking LS430?

I saw this hideous looking LS430 on ebay, why?? Did this person or company think this is a Cadillac Sedan De-ville?

I will never understand why some people just decide to f--- up a car with low level accessories trying to look different.

LMAO they didn't even cut the rag around the antenna base, they basically went right over it and punched a hole for the antenna, that is low rent.

I re-read this entire thread and didn't see where anyone had documented that these "Palm Beach Edition" Lexus vehicles were (still are?) "created" and sold by Lexus of Palm Beach of West Palm Beach, Florida.

Here is an old thread about the ES300 Palm Beach Edition: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/es3...h-edition.html

Still waiting for the LS460 version of this hideous modification.
