Default Official Custom Painted ISx50 Thread

I had started some threads specifically dedicated to all of the available IS exterior colors, but I wanted to take it a step beyond that.

I figured I'd also give those in the Club with some custom paint jobs their chance to show off also.

Since I don't have a custom paint job myself (yet at least), I figured I'd keep with the tradition and start off with an example pic. This is a photoshopped example I came up with:



I wish they had something like that on the '08 IS250s w/ AWD. (Or any IS250 with AWD for that matter)

Yea i do. All the interior wood pieces were also painted the same color as the car and the silver inserts on the door handles and next to the radio/shift **** were painted black. I also have a Razo black chrome shift ****, Vizualogic TVs in the headrests and subs in the trunk.
