Default Convertible Mods/Aftermarket?

I just happened to stop by a Lexus dealer today and they had a beautiful white LC500 convertible in the showroom. As I was admiring the car, it occurred to me that I've rarely if ever seen any convertible owners on here post pictures of their cars with aftermarket wheels, lowering springs or any other type of mods or aftermarket parts. Have any of you convertible owners changed up your car and willing to show some pics? I wonder why it seems like only the coupe owners tend to make these changes.

Anyway here are a few pics of the car:

Yes the convertible has the same mods as the coupe just the trunk spoiler is different, we have helped a handful of convertible LC owners.

I hear you. I just find it odd that it looks like only the coupe owners have aftermarket rims and what not. Maybe it's an age demographic thing. I can see how the convertible would attract older buyers and younger buyers who like to mod their cars lean towards the coupe.

Wheels are bout the only thing you need ever do to the Vert..... Hard to improve on almost exterior perfection.

i was gonna do the bodykit too but honestly its already low enough, it'll scrape if i get the kit and then i gotta drill into the bodywork too. ugh, none of these things seem that appealing to me.

maybe in a few years when i get bored, but right now im good. Even the stock wheels dont bother me as much as before.

Is your LC currently lowered or stock?

There is a red with aftermarket wheels and lower. Mine is stock height. Because my driveway have a deep angle.

My photo skill is not good.

she’s stock. But honestly the ride height is fine even at stock. The wheel gap is minimal and everything just looks proportionally correct.
