Lexus is represented at the 2019 SEMA show through the custom cars, SUVs and trucks that professional and amateur builders bring to display, often in conjunction with the aftermarket companies who have supplied components to the vehicles.
That can mean anything from air suspension for a slammed RC F to a rooftop tent for an off-road-ready GX 460, the large Lexus SUV that’s sold in North America. Check out the magic of SEMA 2019 in our gallery.
