Looks sweet - do anything with the brakes?

Good question. For now the huge stock brakes are wrapped in a reflective red. I did have larger AP Racing brakes made for the LC. At the last minute we decided not to install because we would have to cut the dust shield. Later on they will likely go on.

The world's first Tom's Racing Aero kit arrived yesterday and we installed it today before it heads to the Columbus, Ohio Auto Show then off to the Atlanta Auto Show! Here is a short video I took!

Looks Great! Will you be bringing it by Nalley Lexus-Galleria in Smyrna sometime when it is done in May? I have a few technicians here in the shop that would love to get a closer look!

How does the brake wrap fare under normal braking heat?

Today the #LCUL8TR got a revision with these 22" Vossen Hybrid Forged Wheels in Satin Black!! Now it truly looks exotic!

Hey I am so sorry to just see this. Sure I can organize a time for it to stop by. I will send you a message or email me mikeforsythe13@gmail.com

I am shocked to see not one problem thus far. Mind you the car isn't driven daily.
