Well finally found time to get my new wheels & tyres (tires) mounted up on my Lexus LS460.

Also done the following before fitting them :

Fit new suspension arms & linkages both Front and Rear,
Fit new brake pads & discs (rotors) both Front and Rear
Replaced any sensors for new items,
Painted the Brake calipers,
Replaced the Xenon bulbs for Osram CBI versions
Fitted a HID kit into the Front fog lights,
Replaced the parking light bulbs for LEDs,

I have a like/dislike to a 460, but that just looks the business...
 
Well, one thing's for sure; Buick certainly can't be accused of bland styling.
You can thank the designer Wayne Lady for that one. Most of the stuff he got "creative" with is considered quite polarizing by most, or an acquired taste at the very least. The Skylark design was a weird mishmash of a front inspired by Buicks of the 30s (though I have noticed other Kady works tended to have a pointy nose), and a more rounded body inspired by a concept Buick had a few years prior called the Bolero.

That paint combination is top notch 👍
There's a reason it was the one Buick used in most of its advertising ;). Although, it does look a lot more blue in photos than in person; it's more of a teal/aqua, which doesn't show for whatever reason.

Looks like this:

I can definitely see how it would be polarising. Personally not my taste, but more power to him for not having something that looks just like everything else, like the modern crop of... well, everything.
