Default Any pics of totally blacked out ISX50??

I got a black IS350 and i already blacked out my tail lights and tinted my windows. Now i was wondering how it would look if i powder coated my stock rims black and painted my brake calipers red so all you could see on my car is the red calipers. Has anyone already done this, and if so can you guys post pics so i can see how it looks???

^^ Agreed. I love that shade of tint on the headlamps and fogs.

Those mods are very suitable on a black car, I don't know why people do it on lighter colored cars.

we do darker shades/black to contrast with our white. its a nice look for white cars imo. totally blacking out the tails not so much. but black roof, blacked out housings, dark rims, are all nice to see on a white IS.

awesome stealth look! im not digging the tails cause it looks more like a matte black cause you probably sprayed the tint. look into a glossy tint or vinyl perhaps! it'll enhance the look
