Many SUV owners spend a lot of time and money customizing their rigs for their particular lifestyles. Overlanders add roof-top tents, onboard air compressors, and even water tanks for showering to make their time off the grid easier. Lexus goes all in on modifying its SUVs for certain purposes, too—in concept form, at least. Last year, it rolled out the golfer-focused GX 550 Malbon Edition. Its newest hyper-specific one-off is the Lexus Glam LX.
Lexus worked with Complete Customs to create a rolling nail salon, hair studio, and wardrobe department that can get to even the most remote modeling or filming locations (it would look perfect as Elle Woods’ vehicle if they ever make another “Legally Blonde” sequel). The body is covered in a distinctive “pearl symphony chameleon” wrap. Two-tone crystal Lexus badges replace the factory emblems.
The pink and white leather interior is where models and performers can get their nails done, hair styled, and clothes and shoes on, all while surrounded by mohair, silk, and stone inlays. The glove box was altered to hold bottles of nail polish and UV/LED lighting for quick color changes and manicures.
Lexus replaced the stock rear doors with coach doors that open to a makeup studio with a full-width drop-down mirror, a halo-lit skylight, and tray tables with stone inlays.
According to Lexus, “Hot tool holders, integrated power outlets, a refrigerated makeup console, and an LED-lit handbag storage compartment ensure beauty and styling items are always accessible on the go.”
Instead of the regular liftgate, the Glam LX has a pair of French doors that provide access to a pair of illuminated mirrors, a small clothing rack, shoe- and purse-sized storage cubbies, acrylic drawers, and a pair of custom pullout chairs for getting ready. There’s even a retractable privacy screen to make sure there’s no audience for the next wardrobe or costume change.
Lexus will be taking the LX Glam concept to various locations for people to experience. If you happen to see it somewhere, the soundtrack for the event will probably be people saying, “No, Honey, it’s not for sale. Lexus isn’t going to put it into production.”
