Looks good from afar, but far from good!

Not my cup of tea.

Too much for a car that isnt really that fast. But the Japanese like those things.

Haha. That car is hideous.

I’m glad I’m not the only person who thinks so.

I will NOT be doing anything like this with my LC 500 convertible once it arrives.

The orange peel paint job on the hideous flares just adds to the breakdown of an automotive design masterpiece that the LC is.

i share your assertion that the LC is perfect as is, and therefore needs no messing with.
but, as any little kiddie with a magic marker knows, it sure is fun to put a mustache on her now and then.
those pink things they put on uber cars might appeal to some, too, you never know.

and now that you mention it, how bout a carbon fiber diaper for the LC's prominent rear end....i've always thought that design was
a little suggestive and ripe for improvement too

I find it intriguing the majority of posts here find these upgrades offensive. I do like the carbon fiber work but that's it.

I question what would drive these people to do these mods and think it looks good. so i guess my questions are these.
Are the tastes overseas that radical from ours to warrant these mods ?
are we or not the demographic for the LC500 ?

Id wager the ride is horrid as is the handling and there is a high risk of scraping.

I never get why people have excessive camber ... oh looks cool forgot sorry. when i look at pics like these. I understand why the camber
is off (airbags adjustable suspension). Last time i checked Texas metal or whatever its call they lift trucks on airbags and design the
suspension to be flat at any level. The LC suspension... good luck wouldnt see them wasting their time if they didnt even get rid of the orange
peel on the wide body.

in closing, even toyota doesnt have much add ons from their TRD division for the LC500.... why because the designers were given a blank check.

ppp

The wide body eh it aint bad.. mostly dumping it when their parked but static rides are crazy.
TDeman does a beautiful job on suspension systems, incredible quality to boot.
Love this cars set up.
