black cars require too much cleaning IMO, silver is great.
If your hi beams didn't illuminate everything, i'd feel bad for you haha,

^ more then the regular ones haha and my other car is a really dark gray color, much like black it shows scratches easily but like black it cleans up relly well. I do love this silver though

My parents car is the same color, and the paint is beautiful.
I know a guy from Liberty and his car is inspirational

I havn't done anything to my parents car other than interior lighting, LED reverse and city lights.
As for lows/highs/fogs, I kept them as halogens bulbs from Catz in a white color. I don't want to go HID on it, so it doesn't blind anyone.

I tried the yellow fog and high beam set up, but didn't enjoy the look as much as the white/icy color (gives a more luxurious look). What cleans up the car really well is eliminating the amber sidemarkers and putting in clear ones and removing the amber reflector on the inside of the headlight.

Ya well see what I'm going to do to it. I removed the sport design badges from the fenders and put the yellow high beams but that's it. I just replaced all the foyers, fluids, diff. Included. Now all I'm going to do is get the windows retinted, changed the license plate bulbs to led, hardware my 9500ix, add Bluetooth and thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the car. After that I don't plan on doing anything else but servicing the car. I still bring it to lexus for 50 bucks. I figure with the car wash and them vacuuming the inside and the free coffe, it only comes up to be 10 bucks more then if I went to one of those jiffy lube places if I were to pay for all those things sellers tell. But back on topic. Now that I switched to my nokyas, my drls are back on?
