Default LS460 feat AUTO-COUTURE Aero & Wheels

Hey guys I just wanted to share a few pics of the new AUTO-COUTURE Kit that's available for the LS460. Its certainly more "adventurous" than the previous A/C kits, however I believe they are targeting the LORINSER F1 clientele. I know that their previous kits were regarded as "too plain", by some prospective customers, so they chose to follow the more aggressive path taken by LORINSER.

I have A/C kit on my car so I guess I'm a little more old fashioned, as it is very simple. I just wanted to share

The kit includes:

FRONT BUMPER
FOGLIGHTS / DRIVING LIGHTS
SIDESKIRTS
REAR BUMPER
REAR EXHAUST FINISHERS
TRUNK WING
SPORT FENDERS (available separately)


The wheels on this car are :

AUTOCOUTURE CEASAR
22x9.0" (3" LIP)
22x10.5" (5" LIP)
CHROME FINISH


Feel free to contact us for a quote on the Aero Components / Wheels:

Hmm, might look better in black. But the foglights are interesting...are they HID?

Not feeling the front with the 3 fogs. Not feeling the fender treatment, I think it's too much of a Lorinser knock-off. The wheels are nice. Overall, not a bad car, it's nice.

Too busy for a daily driver.

But good for shows.

Looks nice but it wouldn't work here in Seattle, too many hills and pot holes. Those skirts would be gone and all scratched in no time, even more so with the lowered car as in the pics above.

Honestly, I can't find any part that I like about the kit/wheels . . . Those wheels themselves are not bad & may look good on some other cars . . .

It's not that bad, but still too busy for me.

I do have a question though. Have you lowered a new LS with the Air suspension? I want to get wheels for mine, but will not until I get the car dumped a bit.

A little OTT for my taste.
