Must be such a rare car, that no one has a build lol. I am shopping for one and wanted to see what the difference is in some options. 1. Is the IL package a significant upgrade? What about the AP option Lexus safety system? Do those features not come standard on the LS?

There are definitely some builds. I have seen the locally in the south and central Florida area....whether or not they are on CL is a different story. As we start to build on the info background on this car, more people will join and input. Us SC/Supra guys are getting older and this is a decent build platform....just wish it had more performance-based parts.

You can find more performance parts out that fit the LS500. But, you need to do research. This car share parts with other lexus models. Hopefully, soon the car can get more exposure and easier to mod. Making our lives easier.

As mentioned in another thread. I just purchased the JB4. Good gains for the price. I have Tom's Racing air filters installed, drop ins. Really opened up spool quickness and virtually no lag. Can't wait to install the JB4.
