Default Black Mirrors and Black Spoiler on Ultra White RC350 F Sport

Bought Spoiler and Side mirror OEM covers from the Dealer and installed them myself. Looks Good

. RC line doesn't come with Lexus "Crafted Line", so I wanted to get that type of look. Love the way it looks IMO. Wrapping the roof tomorrow and bought a OEM black cover for the antenna so I don't have to deal with wrapping that thing (doing it myself). Will post pictures after everything is finished, but until then here is the other two parts I installed.

Spoiler complements the vents in the back slightly. I think if you did satin black around the chrome window lining it would really complement the black mirrors, otherwise it has a lot going on in that area! Good start!

It's your car, so all that matters is that you like it, but I have to agree.... it looks like you added parts that forgot to be painted....the black mirror caps look like an aftermarket add-on with the mirror "base" still in white..

Right on HoustonTX---I spent 21 years in auto sales. Black mirrors were always indicative of the entry model cars. The upscale models always had the painted mirrors. And yes, if you're going to stay with what you're doing, I agree that the base of the mirror should be black as well.

I didn't have time before it got dark to do the base. Here is what it looks like now with the roof too. Black mirrors and spoiler is the new thing but I totally understand the entry level comparison. To each their own. Pictures don't really do it justice. Looks awesome in person, obsidian black on the ultra white. Thanks guys.

My vote would have been just for the top, but as long as you like it is all that matters.

All white looks good. Adding black to it makes it look sportier to me. Congrats I like it!

Looks good, it looks like you have your own version of Lexus' "Crafted Line."
