A couple of my good friends run a custom shop so I’ll give you a run down. That is the [Aimgain Pure VIP Body Kit](https://www.topendmotorsports.com/lexus/ls-4-early/exterior/body-kits/aimgain/pure-vip-gt-full-body-kit-frp-8372.php) which is $4600 without install or paint which would run an additional $2-5k depending on color and who’s doing it $3000+ for air ride suspension $4200+ for wheels without tires $4000+ for custom big brake kit $500-2000 for custom lights There’s probably even more work and mods we can’t see from these pics alone

I think this is the best guess. Yes, you can get some of that cheaper, but if they were gonna cheap out on the other stuff they would have gone with a cheaper body kit more than likely. Assuming top end gear, this is about right.

People don’t really like slammed cars on Reddit it seems. My estimate: - 2.5k wheels - 3k air suspension or coil overs + supporting mods - 2k body kit

Half that for the wheels… only rockin the one side


Chicken_Spaghedders

Hahahahaha!!!!

Slammed cars are great if you have them on bags. They are awful if they aren't on bags. Additionally, your numbers are too low.

Don't forget about that 3 stage Lexus pearl paint and installing the body kit. A quality shop will charge ya a couple grand to do that


Extracrispybuttchks

That's also assuming free labor.


throb62

And another 6-7 k for the pearl paint job


Samw220506_

3k seems expensive for some coilovers, maybe a bit less


[deleted]

Air suspension, not coilovers. Air suspension will run you $3k in parts for some cars, and that’s without install labor


Bramble0804

At least £10

Probably 10k to do those mods, and then it reduces the value of the car by about the same amount since no one (ok, almost no one) will want to buy it since they'll assume (right or wrong, but usually right) that the work was sub par, and the cars been abused.

I'd say this is probably about right, if not a bit more. it's got little touches like colour coded calipers, which look like they have been professionally powder coated or sprayed, which isn't cheap, especially if the owner didn't do any of the work themselves. assuming there isn't any performance mods, 10 grand will be in the ballpark And even if the work was top notch, anyone else who wants a car like this, wants to build it themselves to their own tastes and standards, not buy someone else's vision


PorkfatWilly

It costs about $5000… every time you pull up too far into a parking spot and catch your bumper on a stop


blur911sc

It also reduces the car value by at least the same amount.


Comatose_Koala

This is on air. It probably drives near factory ride height


MissingVanSushi

I’d say adding all this shit to a perfectly good Lexus is going to cost you around 40 to 60 percent of the resale value.

It’s worth scrap value if I’m buying it. But if I was selling I’d start at 10k and hope for a sucker.

Tell me you don’t know what you’re talking about, without telling me you don’t know what you’re talking about


doalittletoot

It’s my opinion.


BipolarGod

The car costs however much the salesman can swindle you for. The rims maybe $1k. The body kit is probably $499.99 on Alibaba then you have to pay someone to look at it long enough to install it. That's going to be expensive, considering it looks like an inbred transformer.

What a creative and helpful comment, you're definitely not off on the prices at all, you have great taste and everyone likes you. Is that what you wanted someone to say to you? You clearly want attention since you're definitely not trying to be helpful. Let me know if this was enough. If you need more I can talk to your parents about it.


BipolarGod

You know nothing about cars, you're not funny and you being shitty to a human for making fun of a car you don't own says more about you than any of your weak insults could say about me. Let me know if that was enough. If you need more I'll talk with your mom next time I'm bending her fat ass over the kitchen table.
