It either may have just come like that, or the person intentionally painted the lower cladding/bumper the same color to get the monotone and solid look. I've seen other ES's painted monotone, and most of them look really good, such as 93lexuses' white '93 ES

I recognize those awful wheels from an ES in another thread here where the guy wanted reaction to the baby-blue color. Or maybe it's just another car with the same type wheels.....those narrow-slit ones that block airflow and heat up the brakes.

Yes, Bro.........I remember your asking for forum input on the non-stock paint job you gave it. I had a high opinion of the paint color but not the wheels.
When I saw that white one with the same wheels, I thought maybe you had decided to repaint it AGAIN....apparantly not.

Yes, I know they painted the cladding supposedly to "match"... But if you look closely, the bottom portion is off from the upper portion of the car. Will this always happen? I am looking at getting the "pearl white metallic" paint for my whole car, but if the different color white will show up like that, I might as well get another color.

Anyone know what spoiler is on that second white ES?

I was figuring that they were trying to match the color of the upper portion of the car, so it wasn't a whole repaint of the car...
It was starting to worry me because I wanted to get a white paint job and that it would look like that..... lol duhhhhh
