You think it'll look good?
Well I have a tungsten pearl is250 and the finish on my ISP rims are in rough shape and they have lots of curb rash so I decided to coat them with a metallic grey and it isnt doing t for me. Im thinking I want to try out black so Im going to sand down my rims, prime it, coat them black then finish them off with some clear coat.
Ive always been a huge fan of black roofs on the IS but i didnt know if it would look good on a tungsten pearl IS but i recently seen one and it looked good. I also wouldnt mind blacking out my emblems or getting black chrome ones and then blacking out my grille. Then I would like to maybe get smoked out tail lights.
So you guys think a tungsten pearl IS250 would look good with black rims, black roof, black chrome emblems, blacked out grill and smoked tail lights? Anyone got a pic of a car thats close to what Im looking for?
I know some people say get a new exhaust, drop your car and get new rims but I dont think thats for me. Im not a fan of loud exhaust systems and I live in a quiet neighbourhood, I live in northern canada and if I dropped it I would get stuck in the snow, and the ISP rims are my favorite rims so no point in getting another set.

What do you mean it doesn't show a lot? You saying there's not enough contrast between light silver and black?
i think that it will look good minus the blacked out tail lights. search posts by calviin his car looks like you describe when he had the black volks on it. ill try and dig up a post for you

No not all year long usually until till may, then u got the big bad pot holes and then I gotta deal with the terrible roads... Im pretty sure the roads in the winter are smoother than the summer. This year is an odd year tho its not even april and we have almost no snow left.
