I would do it for a special car that I was going to keep a long time, but even I wouldnt do it for a lease lol

so cool we even like the same music!

Are you going to take some scenic background shots with the car in the foreground any time soon? The stunning LC needs to be photographed more!!!
going to the beach this weekend, should be able to get some good shots (although i'm not driving it ON the beach ).

That LC at the beach seems like a great match.

Wife and I are going to the beach next week and might end up taking the BMW - unsure if it'll be that or the VW - and will have to take some glamour shots as well.

I always take my minivan to the beach...it gets pretty sandy with the kids and wouldn't subject my daily to it

I've taken glamor shots of my car at the beach on a colder sunny day as its about a 15 min drive to it.

That makes me jelly! But hey, that Portimao Blue could look beautiful even against a dumpster.

Don't get me wrong, I definitely don't plan on going actually near the sand... We've got a rented house that's a short walk to the sand, but is pretty much enclosed within a neighborhood... So should be keeping the Bimmer (or... VW?) clean.

beautiful day here today and late this afternoon decided to go for some backroad fun on long way to do a couple of errands.

so here's a few pics i took... a couple showing this 'caviar' paint is much more sparkly than it may appear from afar.

Lexus paint is the best, just don't mess it up with the wrong wash.

Looks awesome!

My only recommendation would be to get different wheels - not sure why Lexus offers this Chrome style design on a sports car.
