Default Ultimate Blackout!

Local dealer here in Scottsdale has 4 LC 500’s for sale.

Cloudburst looks REALLY GOOD IN PERSON!!! They have it all blacked out. (Laughable pricing, of course—someday we will get rid of these silly auto markups!)

Bought my LC from that dealership 5 years ago. I wouldn’t own the car if they had markups like that.

Last chance to get a new one without that ghastly new touchscreen, hence the mark-up

It looks so much like an Aston with that grey (almost looks the same as the Q grey from their collection). LOVE IT.

I test drove a Cloudburst Grey coupe a little while ago and the color did nothing for me. I tend to find that the cars inside the dealership always pop a lot more due to the lighting they use.

That color looks amazing with the black trim. I would buy that combo without the silly markup.

Yes, that was listed on their pricing add-on sheet.

does powder coating rims affect their balance? how much weight does that add? does it chip off easily?
anyway, looks good!!

So by "blackout" they mean window tint and wheels? Actually the tint is a separate item. So just rims? Hard to see why black rims are "ultimate" anything.

BTW and FWIW, I refuse to ever buy a car from Bell Lexus again. PM me if details are needed.

Is theft recovery (assuming Lo Jack) even necessary? Couldn't the car be located through Lexus Connect?

The Lexus Emblems are blacked out, taillights, and so is one piece of each headlight, which looked really good, IMO.
