Hello! Was wondering if any one can do a photoshop request on my ls400. would like to change the bottom two-tone color to Gloss Black to match new wheels. This would include the front bumper, sides and rear bumper. I think if it looks good...i'll get it wrapped or even better order the Forte kit and have it painted gloss black. Thoughts are always welcome.
Personally, I'm not fond of how white on black LS 400s look. The white and silver compliment each other well, and removing the plastic molding for proper painting could break it from age (it gets brittle).
Purely from a visual perspective, the clear lenses look more natural on silver paint - there's a stronger contrast on black paint.
Thank you so much Celsior!! When you speak of plastic molding are you referring to the ones on the sides? Also if I got new aftermarket side skirts (forte kit) would it cover side moldings? Would it be better to just add new 4 piece body kit? Thanks for your thoughts and input!!
Don't paint it, that is if you ever plan to sell it. I've seen them sit forever on craigslist when people do the stupid non stock paint schemes, so unless you plan on never selling it then do what you want. A nice perfect factory stock Gen 1 LS can go for $8000, a messed up mess $300 so which would you rather have? And personally I don't like that color combo at all it just looks goof ball.

You're welcome!
Yes, by plastic molding, I am referring to the silver trim on the lower portion of the car.
If I remember correctly, side skirts would replace the side moldings on the fender and unibody, but not the door moldings (unless the kit comes with new door moldings).
It might be better to keep the silver molding as-is and replace the pieces with the body kit instead, if you intend to add the body kit anyway.
Thanks Celsior!! Damn, tough decision here...I was thinking the gold cause of the gold rivets in my wheels, but the red does stand out. Wonder what F-sport Blue would look like? Open to opinions folks.
