New LC500 Owner - what wrap color?
Hi Everyone!
I just bought my first LC500, in fact, my first Lexus yesterday. It's a 2018 LC500 on white with the Performance Package. I own a Vinyl Wrap and PPF Shop and am looking for suggestions on wrap colours. White is not my style. Plus, I'll be using the car to market vinyl wraps!
Does anyone have any thoughts?
Also, what might be the must-have accessories and/or mods to do to enjoy the vehicle more. Btw I did purchase an extended warranty from Lexus as it was a CPO so not looking to do anything that might void it (ecu flash etc)! Maybe CAI? Open to suggestions and recommendations.
Kind Regards,
Sam

Sorry I meant a Cold Air Intake (I know I'm basic haha).
Tbh I'm not a huge fan of red. But, I absolutely love blue. I understand that structural blue is a unique colour. There is a vinyl wrap called Cosmic Blue which is close. But, I wonder if this car should go satin or matte. Or perhaps stay glossy. I'm unclear!

i think a satin or matte gray is incredible. maybe that with some unique graphics to refer to your shop.
oh and congrats!
i don't see need for CAI (i don't want more noise and power gains tend to be very modest on those things).
see thread on replacing diff with hybrid lower gearing one for big response gains.

Thank you. I definitely like the Nori Green. Come to think of it, I happen to have one film in stock (which saves me money) it's this:
It's called KPMF Green Black Iridescent
What do ya'll think of this? It'll probably be a first because I haven't seen one with that colour before.

The only "CAIs" that I am aware of for the LC is:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/lc-...air-intake.htm
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/lc-...ber-dyno.htmll
IMHO, neither is a CAI at all since they draw in underhood air. I'm staying with the stock intake with Wix filters.
BTW, I'm running PPE EL headers with PPE DM Exhaust.

Congratulations. I also wrap cars (on the side), but do liquid wraps. I'm in the same boat as you, not sure what direction to go.
A few options I've considered are:
A blue slate type color - A bright yellow/gold -
Green with bronze wheels is a fave of mine, but I'm already doing that on another car. It would looks good on the LC I think.

I like the thought of being Unique. In that quest, I would look for a color I love that’s not currently offered on the LC.
BAM, I now have a Unicorn!

all these matte wraps are i think a bit played out nowadays. chrome and glossy wraps seems to be more in.
