Japanese tuner house founded by Wataru Kato. Famous for aggressive bolt-on widebody kits with riveted flares for supercars and performance cars.
Liberty Walk (LB Performance) is a Japanese tuner house founded by Wataru Kato in 2009. The brand specializes in aggressive widebody kits using bolt-on (and famously bolt-screwed-on) flares for supercars, sports cars, and luxury cars. The aesthetic is unmistakable: oversized fender flares attached with visible hardware, often paired with bold paint schemes, deep-dish wheels, and aggressive lip kits.
Liberty Walk launched into international fame with their widebody kit for the Lamborghini Aventador in the early 2010s. The kit's aggressive flares and visible mounting hardware were polarizing among Lamborghini purists but immensely popular within the modified supercar community. Subsequent kits for the Ferrari 458, McLaren 650S, BMW M3 (E46, F80), and various other platforms expanded the brand presence.
The brand has been controversial. Critics argue that the kits damage expensive original bodywork (which is often true; the kits typically require cutting fenders for installation). Supporters argue that the modifications create distinctive cars that stand out in a crowded supercar landscape. Liberty Walk-equipped cars routinely appear at major events worldwide, and the brand continues to expand its product range.
