I agree, I think a black Lexus decal would be a nice touch.

Looks nice, but beware salt, which will eat through those duplicolors like none other.

very nice... very nice.... it looks like your trying to black out your car...

referring to the headlights and rims... i would probably go with black calipers with white lexus decals... either way... the red is a nice touch
