i have a 2007 tungsten pearl is250 with an hks exhaust system. keeping it stock for a little longer, so no other mods right now. I wanted to paint my rims black or powder coat them, put black vinyl on my roof and black out my tails. i love how a white car looks when you black it out... would it look strange if i did this to my car?
if anyone has any pictures of a silver isx50 thats blacked out at all please link me to some pictures.

feedback? yes/no?

There's a few out there with black roof's however rather than a matte vinyl, they painted gloss black looks much better. Check out members Brociouz and JoshIS408 Tungsten Pearl ISs in the search

Black (stock) rims and black tails do not look good on our cars in my opinion...especially on TP. I have a glossy, black vinyl on my roof. Gotten many compliments on it. Just don't go overboard with the black, less is more

^ This. I don't like blacked out rims nor tails. I mean you can't even see the design of the wheels when they are black.

Roof...hmm. Just my opinion.

+1000.... Death to all painted stock wheels!

Hey buddy I've got a 11 TP F sport and the whole TP / Black thing looks smexey

The stock dark graphite rims are a perfect contrast to the sharp shiny metallic color so I imagine plastidip / painted rims would look tight.

I've also been considering doing my roof in matte or gloss black still trying to decide.

Heres some shots of mine to give you an idea of the color contrast

Going alittle overboard but most is gone now as you see above

Here's what my TP car looks like with a painted glossy black roof. I'm personally not a fan of black wheels but a lot of people like it.

The roof brociouz posted looks good, but the the other stuff, especially the black wheels will look like crap, IMO - not enough of a contrast on a silver IS.

<edit:> ~ others have posted since I began writing my reply. It would be good to point out that you need to have other mods to round things out. On a simply stock looking car / wheels, it just doesn't look right to me - more like a really expensive Toyota Corolla...

TP and black is a nice contrast, but to me its just like any white on blk combo its getting old.

if that were true then all combos are getting old colleen. every car on here is a cookie cutter when you think about it. There are only a hand full of kits, and color combinations that flow nice with the 2IS. IMO if you like it stick with it, even if someone says its "getting old". Not gonna speak for everyone on the forum, but i mod my car for my self satisfaction, not for others or to keep up with trends (kinda like how like everyones switching to concave from lipped wheels)

With black the design of the wheel gets masked... OEM wheels should be left as is or gunmetal!

Not speaking of kits or car colors in general but more of what people do with certain color combos white on blk, blk on blk. Rarely do I only see something out of the ordinary
