1sicklex is dead? What is that?

I cant say I hate it... But I like the black better. Then again, I hate white cars.

Ok, I get it now... I was like who is this Blueprint guy posting pictures of 1sicklex's car like he owns it. lol.

Gotta be honest though... was a big fan of your car before. Now... not so much. You kind of did everything I hate in one step. Black roof, non-color matched side mirrors, non-color matched door handles, non-color matched rear spoiler, and a racing stripe. I thought your car was damn near perfect before, so I'm kind of sad.

Ok not gonna lie I loved the black GS but I will say this is a very unique look so can't say it looks bad, Then again your car was already unique with what you did. Hope there is more to come.

Atually I kinda like it. The black stripe is diferent for a Lexus. I would like it more if it was gloss white but i's importan only that Mike likes it.
Wih the black color, it didn't need a kit. Now it does.

Nice car as is though.

Hey Mike, the octane shot looks killer. How do you clean something like that? Does it stay clean and just wash it like a normal car? Waxing?

I saw this exact color combo on another gs somewhere and I remembered your car

Everything looks great Mike.... The small details really make the GS stand out with the black mirrors, black piece on the hood, bumper, and door handles.. It just screams classy...

I don't hate the white, just don't like the stripe and door handles. Still a nice car.

Thanks everyone. I was expecting to be burned at the stake I love the matte white, PITA to keep clean though. I want to wrap the mirrors too and spoiler, its bugging me.

The comments and looks in person is pretty crazy, my wife comments on it all the time when she drives it or rides with me. Of course the biggest convo starter is the stripe which I will lose next wrap job.

SO far so good with it!

I don't dislike it as much as I thought I would. It really kind of works well. Kudos for taking the leap.

In case I missed it, do the parking sensors still work the same with the wrap?

Everytime I see your GSh, it makes me a little envious. I love my 460 but the hybrid has something about it...maybe the 460 needs a hybrid brother soon.
