Looks like a roof overlay. I've seen it before, but never on an LS.

looks good ive always wanted a panoramic roof however most LS's loaded with rear entertainment have drop down screens and that would force Lexus to use rear seat TV's

makes me wonder (1) why is the roof black? (2) has it been modded before, (3) and why is at a Nissan dealership for a trade in? seems kind of strange and weird.

Maybe the owner of the dealership had it, maybe the guy that owned it lost his job and needed something else. There are many possibilities. As long as it checks out ok with maintenance records etc, should be a nice car.
