Default Custom paint on ISx50

Saw this at target... The two ladies you see in the background are the owners.

It looked much worse in person.

Maybe if the yellow was darker. That just looks like a buggy yellow.

I agree on the yellow being darker. It just seems off for some reason but, to each and their own...

Maybe they're trying to replicate the IS300 yellow look?

I love yellow. But it will only look nice on our cars if its dropped on some black wheels

It's definitely different. I've owned two yellow cars (WRX and E46 m3) and I loved it. Not really feeling how it looks on the ISx50 though.

The question I have is WHY? The stock Lexus colors are all nice looking and suit the car better than this mess. I can understand things like attention seekers and folks that just want to be different. Glueing dog-turds to the sides of it would be different and look better, and I'm not sure Lexus is the right brand for attention seekers.

Yellow IS300 was awesome! Yellow x50.. not so much. Maybe if it was highly metallic?

I don't find it bad but not my color choice. It makes the car look more "cute."
