I like the solid colors on the 2004 models but many two tones like my old 1997 ES300 look good.

I voted two tone as my Es3 is the forest greenish color with the grey bottom. Put solid color will look good in all black or white . In two tone the color has to match or it would be an eye sore.

Single tone looks the best!!! The only time it's ok in 2 tone is if you use a custom color to get rid of that ugly factory gray color. Yuck!!

err, I live in San Diego...and I've never seen anything more expensive than a 1989 celica in the canyons

Two tone looks the best on black/grey or white/grey otherwise, it looks "90's"

Two tone looks good on the older Lexus'. I don't think it would look good with any of the newer models. Lexus and MB made it look classy through the 90's. I personally like the Black or Pearl White with the Charcoal color lower body trim. That looks NICE, especially with graphite colored wheels!
