Looks like you haven't got round to painting your spoiler. It contrasts too much with your car.

Is that a wrap or a replacement? Needs better pics but seems to fit your theme here.

CF on this car just doesn't look right to me. It's a luxurious car and CF doesn't belong on it. But yeah, it just doesn't look painted.

Well, sometimes CF works and other times its horrendous. For example, I think a few things on the GS can be CF, but some sort of paint has to be added to the mix to make it not so overly aggressive when you look at it.

My first reaction was yuck. But then went back and looked at it and thought is was an ok thing, given the tail light tinting. Might even be better with the Lexus and L emblems in charcoal too.

i have seen some semi-transparent body color paint where you can see it's cf underneath. if done right that can be pretty cool
