Default My lexus GS350 2013, tips?

I'm thinking of getting the roof black, a black spoiler and black mirrors. What do you guys think?

whatever floats your boat... but if it were me... i would leave as is. i would even go as far as to say, black spoiler, black out chrome and badges, black out mid bumper piece. but leave the roof and mirrors as is. oh... and the black license plate frame. as a matter of fact, scratch the black spoiler.

I would wrap the roof in either a matte or gloss black but that about it. A black spoiler or mirrors would ruin the look of the car IMO

Just to be clear, your car is not an F sport right?

Are those F-Sport wheels or IS wheels. Sorry they look like the IS wheels, I would wrap the roof not paint it and I would stop there.

I wrapped my roof and middle bumper gloss black...I also have a SFP but f sport. LMK if you want pics so you can get an idea. I think it looks good either way. The good thing about vinyl is it's not permanent.

They look like the base GS wheels. I would just do the midbumper and spoiler only also.

What kind of paint did you use?
I have a lease I would love to do it - but would need to return it to original color.
