Sorry for the bad pics. You cant tell in the pics but its two toned with a carbon flash metallic. And satin red pin stripe. The brakes and engine cover are also the satin red metallic. It was a fun project and took us 3 days. Some long nights

Don't listen to what all these people say... All that matters is if you think it looks cool. A lot of people on this forum, some who often times comment and say something looks bad, have cars that look horrid. I think it looks pretty cool, its unique and will definitely turn some heads. Nice job

since you asked for an opinion, it looks horrid to me. Personally, i would not waste a brand new car. It took me atleast 5 years to re-paint my evo a custom color. But it is is what it is, its your car and enjoy it with good health.

It's definitely unique and props for having the guts to take on the task of repainting and customizing a brand new car like that. I prefer my stock look, but I do like the painted brake calipers. Whatever responses you get, thanks for sharing the pictures and hope you enjoy your 3IS.

Neither car looks horrid or bad imo. Either way they are a unique expression of you and your voice -- I'll bet plenty of people told jack White that the White Stripes were horrid and bad and now that very uniqueness has made him a rock star. And I'll bet they look a lot better in person. I kind of like the 2IS.

Well thanks guys for the responses. Well were happy with the look of the car and have a few lined up with lexus to customize. We wanted to do something different and why not tear apart a new car if you own a shop. Our goal is to break mold and not have simple plan cars i think lexus needs that more aggressive look. we took the cars to 4 shows and took 1st and 2nd. Thanks guys have a nice day

As much i love new paint, blacked out roofs, and nicely painted calipers, I'm just not feelin V hood. The mazda guys used to do that all the time on their 03-04 Mazda6's years ago: https://www.google.com/search?q=mazd...jNNKKrjAKe6oFQ
