Flashback: Lexus LC500 Looks Magnificent With Wide Body Kit

It's hard to make the stunning Lexus LC look any better, but Artisan Spirits pulled it off.

Agreed, it looks terrible. Actually reminds me of an old civic coupe with a cheap bodykit.

The LC500 is already a beautiful car that doesn't need any added on "enhancements".

Looks awful. Even if these "wide body kits" weren't a bunch of poorly fitting tacked on fiberglass pieces, it would still look horrible, absolutely ruins the otherwise gorgeous car.

If you thought it looked bad in black, wait till you see it in matte blue:



Apparently they also offer coilovers, Sparco seats and a rollcage as options. Talk about completely missing the point of a 4,400 lb Grand Touring car.

Not liking that either. The stock body has nice flow.

I’m not a fan of it either. It’s not horrible looking. The LC500 looks pretty good with the stock body and a nice lip kit.

I think all of these tacked on wide body kits look terrible. The Liberty Walk and Rocket Bunny widebody kits I’ve seen on GTRs look terrible and look like an afterthought the way they are tacked on. Maybe if they were moulded in better they would look ok but with the LC I feel like the fenders already look pronounced and look really good. The only widebody kit I like is the MKIV Supra TRD widebody kit because it was subtle and moulded in.
