Would you buy this?
It was one of JM Custom Creations one off cars. I like the interior a lot, the exterior not so much. For all that has been done to it, it is not bad for $49k, but would any of you grab this car up?

Probably not. Interior looks pretty good though. Not feeling the new front bumper. The side skirts and rear bumper, exhaust treatment for better or worse look similar to some of the Tom's jdm brand stuff

Nice car its an LS of course, but the only way i would consider purchasing this vehicle is if 1.) the seller agreed to restore the car back to its original state or 2) the seller sets the price so low that i could have a custom shop fully restore it back to oem status and not break the bank in doing so. I feel as though that he tricked it out like a honda civic. But this is just my opinion

Most of their cars use good products.....Artisan Spirits, Wald, Tom's, etc....but their wheel fitment and style are really poor. Just my opinion but look way to "southern" style.

Firstly you cant make a statement like that unless you know the background of the company. I do agree that its a bit much style wise. But you realize this car was done by JM Custom Creations...which is owned and operated by JM Lexus. The largest Lexus dealer or one of the Largest, they also provide a lifetime warranty on all paint and body work. With that said yes its over the top and not that nice looking, but I am familiar with the amount of money they put into their builds so there asking price is around the norm.

Yardie, I agree the exterior is not my cup of tea. I can't really assess the price without knowing more about the car.
I want to know more about how you know about 30 year **** star careers!

Looks to be a full Toms kit which l-tuned has on their site for $10,500. Not that an expensive kit means it looks good, but other pics I've seen of this kit look a lot better than these pics. The front bumper seems to have been modded and doesn't look right.
I like interior but would sell the kit and wheels.

I'll sell my LS460L for $49K.
The interior doesn't look like anything expensive. You can get all that done for less then $1500. (seat insert, trim on door panel, hrydro dip some of the interior pieces and maybe he had the roof wrap in white) Wheels looks cheap and since it is a LWB, probably on Data System.

+1, I wouldn't punch that accelerator if you paid me. To me it's more of an individual taste. I've had four 7 series and I had them all customized one way or another, but this is my first Lexus and in my eyes I'd have to be the one to originally make the mods, so if I had $49 to drop, I'd get a nice 2013-14 used and keep it stock and tuned, drive it until the wheels fall off, but that's just me. Also being close to LA we have probably a million upholstery shops that would do anything you tell them if there getting paid.

As an interesting turn of events, I ended up at the same dealership that the LS is at and I thought it looked pretty good. I like how it for what it is, but wouldn't drive it as a DD. It's a nice show car though. JM does top notch work so shoddy craftsmanship wouldn't really be a concern for me.
In other news, I has some fun and test drove a CTS-V while I was there. I can't wait for Lexus to unleash something like that to us.
