Question What color would you wrap your 3GS?

So i went from black to matte white (which I love) but thinking of a change. My wife thinks I'm nuts wanting matte red. If the Lakers were winning I would have done purple to go with the yellow brakes

The interior is black so that helps keep the look clean and I just slapped on graphite Vossen CV1s. I kind of miss black actually but thinking maybe a graphite but every other Lexus is silver.

Any suggestions would be great, or maybe I need to keep it black

Your yellow calipers throws everything off. I think the matte red would look great with the matte graphite wheels. Or a matte blue. To match the calipers, matte black would be ideal.

go w oracal 970ra matte moonlight blue.. looks sick.. and will look really nice w the calipers. also they have a deep purple matte that looks really good. both colors are really dark and will compliment the interior nicely.

A dark graphite or charcoal color would look great! Match the wheels, carbon grille, and allow the yellow JUN calipers and accents to pop!

Because Smoky Granite Mica isn't available any longer, I refused to look at a new GS.
