I've seen other ES's painted monotone, and most of them look really good, such as 93lexuses' white '93 ES![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I would not lie to you, you can not even tell. You will always have that separation with the cladding i guess the picture picks up on that. I guess that is why it looks like that. Truthfully i never even noticed until you said something
edit: I thought that i posted more pictures i have no idea what i was thinking. I know that i have more, but i have to edit them to fit.

Hey Jill, I am not accusing you of lying, I was just trying to point out the color difference I noticed....
I plan on getting white for my car too that's why. I guess it's the line that goes across that brings out the "color difference", even though there really isn't. Nice pics btw... The spoiler looks awesome in the last pic.

Oh no i never thought that you thought i was lying. I just wanted to let you know that it doesn't look like that in person. I seen that you was talking about painting yours all white and i wanted to let you know that you can't tell.
Thanks!

Ok, I am not having a go at anyone here, but I must say that white is not in my opinion the color to go with.. The reason I say this is because white shows up everything, and what I am meaning is that the cladding is quite bulky on the older ES, and so for me, it looks a little out of place (also the cladding after 8 or 10 years tends to drop, and warp a little, so the lines are all out) In white it showes up...This is something I have now noticed with mine... Also, not only keeping it clean, but every bump and dint also shows up in white... I do however feel that the darker colored es's I have seen painted one color on these boards look alot more elegant and classy.. (As mine is silver, I am very biased, but I support your wanting to change the color.. I just dont think the Es's are a car that look good in all white.. The other thing I want to mention is that I have talked to Jill both here and the other clubs, and this is not meant to offend, but I am not a big fan of any spoiler on any luxury car..(Although Jill, If my memory serves me correctly, you bought it like that yeah?) I like to keep the elegance and true lines of a nice car... Spoilers are meant to keep a Formular one car from flying away!
We dont drive fast enough to warrant using wings and spoilers..
