Suprecharged LX570's (dont underestimate a mommy's vehicle)

[ToyotaIsLife]

Superchargers absolutely transform these rigs, its awesome seeing these compete and shred out in the dunes on weekends.

First clip shows LX570 2015 vs tundra and Ford f150.

Second clip shows 2017 LX vs BMW M5 on the drag strip.

Toyota offered a factory supercharged version of the LX back in 2015.

I actually re-did my 2009 LX 570 with a similar look. I never did get a supercharger though.

Did you order black door handles, side window mouldings, taillight trim, door panel trim, etc. or have them painted?

I used the VIN number off of a 2008 LC and ordered the door handles and side window mounding. The taillights were replaced with 2013 LX taillights which do not have chrome trim. The grill was painted. The Lexus emblems were paint ed also.

Awesome! I love the NAV screen at 0.37 in video. Totally white with LC in middle of screen. Classic! Closest thing for me to even remotely attempt that would be Kitty Hawk sand dunes (no allowed) but even that would not due justice.... Crazy!

Do you know if the '08 door handles have all the functionality of the '15s?

I think the videos are doctored. The only way I can be sure is if you were to send me a SC setup so I can personally try to replicate the results.

No. Just eyeball them. My LX was a 2009. I looked at them and they were the same as those on an LX except they were chrome. I happened to have a VIN handy from a 2008 LC so I used that to order moldings and door handles.

Is there anyway you could share that VIN? I’d love to black out my LX.

I don’t have it anymore but you could I’m sure find one online. All 2008 LCs were like that.
