Make sure yours has the Michelins. The Bridgestones are terrible, but the Michelin Primacy MXM4 is a great tire. Mine has them and its very smooth and quiet.

I really like the Liquid Platinum. Black is great, but its so hard to keep clean and coming from years of dark cars (the 03 ES was Black Garnet which is a deep burgundy, the old ES was truffle mica which is a dark brown/grey, abd the Jeep is dark green) the silver is really a breath of fresh air.

Plus, the car really stands out, its a very bright, pearly silver.

Yes, I have LP also and it is a pearly silver. It can almost look white in certain light, but in most light it just really shows off the lines of the car. It is really a "cranked up" silver. I love the color.

I stopped by the dealership to pick up the plates and saw an LP F Sport in the show room. I thought it looked nice. It goes really well with the color of the wheels IMO. Now I see why Syd had his wheels done. I had test driven a white one but it didn't catch much of my attention. Sometimes I think about the what if's! What if I saw an LP F Sport in person before I made my decision?

yes BN... the obsidian with the dark wheels really started to urk me after a month or so. noticed a wheel defect and Lexus replaced and refinished my new wheels in hyper silver powder coat, free of charge on the refinish. i was telling D that the Hyper Silver wheels on his LP would look great.
