Maybe back when it was popular... but today... don't do it...

Black roof would be the only two-tone I'd go for... only if the seams line up with the windshield and back window.

He's not asking for opinions on stuff he's already done, he's asking for opinions on stuff he's thinking about doing.

Why people ask for opinions on planned mods and then get pissed at the responses is beyond me lol. I understand when people have already done the mods.

I agree though I'm impressed he seems to genuinely be interested in our opinions and isn't just here to validate his own thinking.

Absolutely guys, I love you opinions. I think that the LS460 is supposed to be a classic great looking car. Last thing I want to do is crap it up. Everyone on here is very helpful and you all have some great looking cars so who better to give their opinion on something I am thinking about doing than the artists themselves!

Yeah, in hindsight, my comment was a bit rude. Sorry dude. I'm sure those chrome pillars are fine so long as you like them. Get whatever wheels you think is best. I toiled over my wheel selection and ended up going with the safe bet lol.

No no, not rude at all, I had the same feeling about the pillars as well, just didn't remove them yet. I originally was going to get the crafted line black wheels and pay a small amount of money plus the 5 spokes I have now, but I decided to keep the 5 spokes and just pay for the black ones incase I don't like them I just switch back and sell the crafted line ones.

So, I finally pulled the trigger and got the new wheels. I didn't go with the all black at the suggestion of most of the contributors to this thread, didn't think they were right for the car. Forum member Scrutator told me about the F sport rims that he got. While taking the time to decide what I wanted, I happened to check craigslist and I found a set of takeoff's from a new F sport. Picked them up ridiculously cheap for OEM authentic rims. I will now be selling my 5 spoke alloys that came on the car. There is one forum member that has expressed interest so I am giving him first pick but if he decides he does want them they will be for sale so feel free to PM me.

What do you guys think of my new shoes?
