A buddy of mine is in the sign business. This was done with vinyl.

haha, that looks good, it kind looks alot like it's actually a 'lexus company' car, like it's been provided under sponsorship. Over here, when a company does that they usually do something like that, and on the rear doors is information about the charity/event/type of sponsorship.

Nice.

I have a real aversion to plain white cars (result of youth in Florida I think - so very many boring white cars, combination of fleet vehicles, practicality for weather, and elderly). That really improves things.

I think this gen (we have it, too) is the most boring looking ES, but that REALLY changes the way your eye interprets the body lines and improves not just the color, but the body appeal in general.

I run and own a print shop and we can do this kind of thing too, but I'll just keep it to the small things on my car.

Gotta take it back. The lettering fell off. My buddy says it's probably because the vinyl was old. He's gonna redo it. He used old vinyl because it was a perfect match to the Lexus pearl white.

Not really digging the stripe on a luxury car...especially around the rear bumper. How about a two tone setup like the 3rd gen ES?

Hope that's not hard to remove. You're never gonna sell that car looking like that.

Different strokes for different folks. i didn't post this to solicit criticism, I posted it to share. But your comments are noted and will be remembered.

KLF, if you had read my first post you would know that this vinyl (says so right in the post). Vinyl peels off very easily and leaves nothing behind.
