Default Sema 2009 - Lexus vehicles I saw at the show

Hey guys and gals. I just got back last night from the show. I thought about you guys as I walked around and took some extra photos of Lexus vehicles there so that I can share with my fellow Lexus enthusiast.

Sorry for some crappy pictures. Most of it was with my point and click plus people kept on walking into the shot.

Enjoy. I'll post up more pics if people are interested in non-Lexus cars there.
























Not my cup of tea in mods but it was at Sema . . .

The best car there (IMO) - Stock LFA except I'm not a huge fan of the matte black paint job.

If I remember correctly both IS-F's were sporting Carbon Fiber hoods and fenders. The contrast on the white one just stand out more.

Thanks for posting the pics. Lots of ugly cars, but the LFA sure is hot.

I believe they were saying there was only going to be like 500 made and would be sold to selected buyers for around $350,000+. You'd have to have some serious connections and cash flow to get one.

Oh dear. The white ISF needs to be much more heavily modded in order to pull off the CF Hood & Fenders.

Everything else is goodness, though. Thanks for the pics, OP!

I agree. What kind of moron would put carbon fiber on a white car. It totally looks like the guy had body work done but couldnt afford to get it finished. People dont think sometimes. Drive it on the street and 98% of drivers will think the panels are unpainted

Thanks for sharing with us!

I'm kind of digging the black IS-F with gold wheels.

Also, the 2 IS-C's were looking pretty strong. I wonder if we'll see those aero kits coming to market.

I think the LFA is growing on me. I just wish its exterior styling wasn't so muted. One of the benefits of using carbon fiber is the ability to create sharp angle on the car so whats up??!!. Its a nice looking car but I wish it was a head turner like a Lambo or a Ferrari. As most Japanese cars the ,price is close to or as high as euro cars, the technology is just as good but reliable, but they don't always look as nice as their European contenders. The LFA is no different. I am loving the interior of the car and the new seat belts with air bags in them
