Thanks!! The Executive Package on the L model has that full recline with ottoman feature, but thats just over the top.I think it costs almost $12K for that package new or some bafoonery like that..I'd have to find an ATL crackhead to let them drive me around to benefit lol..but I have the comfort and luxury package and I have 5 person seating. The rear seats slightly recline and they have heat and AC as well as the front seats. The brake hold feature is real handy in major traffic jams, drive thru's and long stop lights. I don't have the 5" of extra legroom since I have the standard wheel base, and the other options I don't have are AWD, air suspension and radar cruise control. The L model also comes with rear laminated windows for extra quietness. In 2016, I'll buy a 2013 L model. Let someone else take the depreciation hit.

I shoot people
I didn't care for them when they first came out, but it has grown on me over the years... I think it's the fact that you don't see as many of them on the road that's great (vs other cars in it's class)

I'm not ordinarily a Lexus fan but LOVE the design of what I call the "Big Lex". The current LS series is

Congrats on the pickup. Leave it as it is, though, it's so classy.

LOL, thanks. there are some great deals to be had on these right now. Plus this body style is still current for the most part except for recent changes to taillights and headlights with Audi lightbrite DRL now. I got my 2007 from a broker. Had the car checked of course, no frame damage or anything like that. I have seen these with nearly all options running mid $30s, even a little less for not having options like Mark Levinson (which is a must). I mean, 19 speakers, 380HP and rear wheel drive..what else could you ask for. So glad I bought this car..I still drive my TL most days, but it is such a treat to get in the Lex Luthor and feel Presidential

Wow the new wheels take it to an entire new level. I am not a fan when I see the LS with small wheels from the factory but the 20s make it look right.

Thanks again guys! Here are some better pics I took today. Also, some bonus pics of my Lex Luthor hanging out with his older brother The "Ack"niculous One and some HID Yellow Fog Goodness as well. Ackniculous is without the HFP wheels for a while, one tire got a hole in the sidewall from a chunk of metal in the road and it is unrepairable so rollin stockies for a while since all 4 19" tires are up for replacement anyway.

Very, very tastefully modded. The wheels almost look stock but give it a bit of attitude.
That being said, I am amazed how tiny the 20s look on that car. Again, not bashing you because like I said, they look great but amazed how big that car is.

Oh, I totally hear you. The LS is a huge car, especially the long wheelbase version and the stock 18s or 19s (touring pkg) look small. Most folks throw 22s on the LS, but i was not interested in running a 30 or 25 series (if staggered) tire for the type of driving i do. I also wanted to keep this luxury smooth ride and these tires accomplish that. The sidewall height on 22s is super thin, so I went for a good mix of style and comfort while maintaining oem look..so 20s it is

Just swapped out the 8.5 wide wheels in the rear with the 20x10 stagggas..way better look for this big booty azz car.

Damn those 20x10s look great! Perfect fit for that size of a car. Congrats
