Default Blacked-out 2013 GS350 F-Sport on eBay

Looking to see if any '13 LS' had been listed, I saw this customized GS by Northside Lexus in Houston. Here are a few pics of it.



You can see the rest here.

Seen this car at Cars & Coffee in Houston, its admirable they tried hard with it, but theres still a lot lacking to complete a matte black 4GS. I heard their "sticker price" on the wrap was something crazy like $8k too.

I agree 8k is expersive but what is "lacking to complete a matte black 4GS"? Looks good to me?

Looks terrible.

Need to "black" out the exhaust tips to complete the look. #goodgrief

That's just too much.

I don't think the matte black looks good on a GS, looks like an old beater. They killed it.

If that's Obsidian... it would be a different story.

Yowzas! No contrast whatsoever. Even wheels are the same color and finish. They forgot the rear emblem and exhaust surround. Not my cup of tea. Hope the future owner likes it.

I... don't like it. Flat black looks cool on a 80's JDM car/truck. Or maybe a new M3 with the factory paint job.

That GS reminds me of a RS5 i saw last year, terrible. Way to make a $60k car look like a beater.

Yeah, I certainly wouldn't pay "extra" for that look.

"Can I have a car with no paint?"
"Sure, but that will cost an extra $8K..."
