Pretty sweet rims. Did those come stock with the vehicle? I like the TV monitor setup as well. Was that from the factory or did you have that installed?

@Swagga82: They are from LS460, Dunlop 235/35/R18,the original ones were R17,it looked ridiculous so I decided to change it into R18. The first rims:



@Airtime: They are copied from 2010 RX350,good(not perfect) video quality with just 500$. I really don't like the headrests with monitors into it,the headrests won't be soft anymore.

The ugly red-orange carpet inside the car is not good, but the wheels in the first series of pictures are really nice. The V8 logo and those cheap looking side air intake vents have also got to go. This isn't a Honda Civic street racer.

So those are LED strips on the fog lights... I was wondering why you kept on photoshopping a bar across the top of the fogs. That was not photoshop, it was an actual strip. :P ha ha.

Nice side air dams too...

You like planes it seems.

thats called burnt wood, the edges are burnt, comes standard on Ultra Luxury Package with the darker wood! I love it, looks so much better/richer than plain wood IMO.

I have video monitors (Alpine) in my headrest, and still is uber soft. The monitor are very thin, so it's not going to take away from the softness of the headrest.

How come some photo's show "Lexus" Video Monitor and some photo's show plain headrest??? Anyway, nice setup, little bulky for my taste.
