Default LC500 Mod Visualizer

Pretty cool tool I stumbled across today, not sure if it's been posted previously but helps a lot to visualize mods/colors/wheels/etc. I was curious what my carbon fiber hood would look like on my ultrasonic blue and went googling for photos, came upon this site.
Lots of adjustability to suspension height, wheel offset and camber, tints, decals, accessories, kits, wings, etc. Only thing it would not allow me to configure was the roof to either black or carbon, so that looks off as nobody has an actually color matched roof.
It even has the cold start and rev recording you can play if you so desire

Here's my recreation with a different wheel choice...and yes my hood is due to arrive tomorrow!

You are, indeed, totally involved. When do you have time to eat? Brush your teeth? Your project continues to amaze!

LOL! I just love this car and modding it has actually been super fun because it's very easy to make this car unique given 1) how few there are in general (especially in USB 2.0) and 2) how even fewer get modded. I will admit, I have gone way further down the rabbit hole than I anticipated when I bought the car. Originally I was only going to only do the exhaust and springs alongside PPF.

And here I am 1 year later with all that plus a wing, body kit, throttle controller, some interior/exterior lighting changes, and new hood, steering wheel, and wheels on the way.

New wheels, huh? Like the ones shown in the visualizer? More OEM parts to stash away.

New wheels yes, but not the ones in the visualizer. Those are just a style that I do like quite a bit (twisted center), so maybe in the future lol.

I think there should be some decent demand for the bespoke 5 spoke matte rims from folks who didn't get bespoke models, so likely will sell them to offset the cost of the new wheels and keep the storage requirements at bay

What kind of new wheels did you end up ordering? Sorry to the quote police if I did this wrong.

Sad thing is after all this you put into this car, you'll probably sell it next year. I say this as someone who likes what you've done so far.

No plans to sell this car at all!! It would take a monumental destruction of our financial foundation for me to sell it lol.

There are no other cars out there that appeal to me enough to sell and move on, and anything that does is out of my affordability.

I believe you. It seems one’s appreciation and admiration grows over the course of ownership. There’s recognition that it’s a special car that’d be difficult to improve (In the overall sense) upon in the current market.

No offense meant. I have seen it happen on car forums all the time. People put tons of mods and money into cars and then they get bored of it a year later and sell it.

Yeah even if my affordability suddenly skyrockets, I would see myself adding to the stable next to the LC (since I daily the LC) rather than replacing it. I mean the realistic non-supercar dream pairing for me is a Cayman GT4RS but that't not a car I want to daily, so it cannot replace the LC. The only option to have it side by side, which given other money priorities, seems unlikely in the near future lol

I’ve also seen people who bought their “dream” car only to put it in the garage and sell it in a couple years later. This is pretty apparent with many used LC500 having only 2-4k miles.
