Cars should always have a very narrowly defined purpose to which it was made for.
Sports cars should be agile, light, beautiful, and communicative, and that’s what the AE86, and the FRS is appropriately.
Luxury sedans too, shall be made with a single focus, that is to be silent, large, comfortable as a first class cabin, and stately.

Vossen wheels were chosen to update our Lexus LS430 project car, and it brings the car into 2013 after 10 years of service since it rolled off the showroom floor.

Fitment: 2004 Lexus LS430

Why not air-bags? It's because I do this...

LOL! I track my AE86's and FR-S's most of the time. This last post with LS430 on the track was an exhibition assignment from Lexus USA, and also for me to test the RSR suspension under extreme loads and cycles. It did it with flying colors and balanced handling characters are awesome inspite of the very compliant RSR setup for the street.

The spoiler on the trunk is part of the entire body kit from INGS that include also the front dam, side skirt panels, and rear extensions, along with the trunk lip.

I love that color. One of my neighbors has an LS like that and it's an amazing color in person.

It's actually not that low! I feel like it's an illusion because I'm on 20" instead of 19". I am trying to figure out how to get it lower haha

Bags or crazy camber might help. I used to be slammed on 18"s but my 20"s raised the car up a lot. It definitely feels like an illusion.
