Out of the given options, I'm with you there as well. Although I do like the white diamond pearl on the GS the most. . .

u should have done a poll...that dark grey camrem did something like that and it looks awesome....i think graphite of the options given would look crazy with some graphite 20's and polished lips...

i say....you choose something you like...me personally...i would take a non lexus color..so it will make it that much more custom...btw...what color is it now...interior color? that all matters...to the choice of a color...you dont want a color that dpoesnt go with your interior..atleast thats my opinion....you getting door jams....trunk....hood...engine bay...painted? theres alot of things you can do to help the paintshop...like remove your own moldings before putting it in...and if you want to get more things painted..let them know...gettings your plastics painted really help the engine bay...give it a nice clean look...just take a look at my pics...i aint never going back to black plastics...hahaha...but like i said thats my opinion...and ive had my car painted twice....so...its an experience deal with me...ive learned...what i aslo have learned..is if you have all the parts you want...like a roof spoiler...and any other misc body parts...have them all painted at the same time if your getting a custom job done...the painted will never be able to replicate...his paint style that day...yes the body shop says they can match it...but...will the painter be able too..even the best...mess up...keep that in mind...ronnie

Of these choices, go with the orange.........blue, graphite, and gray are just too common.

am i the only one who thinks that 2 tone Rodmillen is430 is ugly, the paint really doesn't flow with the car.

If it were my car.. i would do a Purpleish color like on the new Ls430's .. or the Offwhite of the GX's
