Buick Lucerne News **CXX Luxury Liner at SEMA (page 4)**

RELEASE: Buick Lucerne CXX Luxury Liner - - Source: The Car Connection
For a taste of Detroit and Europe blended together, look no further than the Buick Lucerne CXX Luxury Liner by Rick Bottom Custom Motor Sports of Mendota, Ill. This interpretation of the Lucerne delivers a great, fun-to-drive enthusiast's commuter car that occasionally ferries business passengers.
The Lucerne CXX Luxury Liner begins with a two-tone exterior finish with White Gold Flash tri-coat on the sides and Glacier Gold Flash over the top down to the beltline. The colors are divided by a 1/8-inch Gold Miststripe. The two-tone effect conveys a lower, sleeker look.
A ground effects kit consisting of add-on body pieces to the front and rear fascias and rocker panels brings the body closer to the pavement for a performance-oriented look. A small deck spoiler visually extends the length of the trunk. CXX badging tops off the package.
And speaking of the V-8, the Lucerne CXX's existing Northstar powerplant gets a 20-percent power increase from revised ECU programming, and a Corsa exhaust with noise-cancellation technology provides a throaty sound but whisper-quiet cruising.
Because stance is everything in a performance ride, the Rick Bottom customizers reduced the tire-to-fender gap for an Autobahn-capable appearance, and reduced the ride height by 2.25 inches.
Inside, buttery soft Cashmere leather with perforated inserts on the seats allows the full functioning of the cooled-seat feature. An audio/visual/navigation system worthy of a luxury liner awaits drivers and passengers. The vehicle is equipped with OnStar.
Vehicle highlights
Razzi front chin spoiler, rear bumper extension overlay and rocker panel covers
Bronze window tint
Weld EVO forged spoke 20-inch wheels, one-piece multi-spoke with chrome plating mated with Dunlop 245/40R20 low-profile, quiet tread tires

Fourteen-inch vented and slotted brake rotors with aluminum calipers in black from Stainless Steel Brakes Corp.
RBCM chrome accents throughout, including on speaker grilles, bezel around headunit
Sound-deadening material by Hushmat
Transmission upgrades by Bowler Performance Transmission
Paints products from Glasurit
Audio installation by SOUND DECISION
Corsa exhaust
Buick Accessories steering wheel and shift knob

It's like an import tuner meet -- you have a basic model upon which all the riceboys pile on every combination of rims, bodykits, and interior crap possible. Except, of course, nobody really buys and fixes up Buicks, so they had to get a single tuning company to simulate what would happen if, y'know, the Lucerne were even the least bit exciting.

Car looks nice, reminds me of a passat, except for the front ground kit, this isn't a kids car so it shouldn't have some boy racer design as shown above. Also the body should be raised .5 inch, being on the wheels in a buick is just ghey.
All the pics after the white car are just terrible.
