Question about paint
Why does this guy's car look like this? Did he choose the wrong paint or is that how it turns out no matter what color you paint the car?

It either may have just come like that, or the person intentionally painted the lower cladding/bumper the same color to get the monotone and solid look. I've seen other ES's painted monotone, and most of them look really good, such as 93lexuses' white '93 ES

I recognize those awful wheels from an ES in another thread here where the guy wanted reaction to the baby-blue color. Or maybe it's just another car with the same type wheels.....those narrow-slit ones that block airflow and heat up the brakes.

Nope, that baby blue ES is MRLEXUS's, and his is a '97 model.

Yes, Bro.........I remember your asking for forum input on the non-stock paint job you gave it. I had a high opinion of the paint color but not the wheels.
When I saw that white one with the same wheels, I thought maybe you had decided to repaint it AGAIN....apparantly not.

Anyone know what spoiler is on that second white ES?

I was figuring that they were trying to match the color of the upper portion of the car, so it wasn't a whole repaint of the car...
It was starting to worry me because I wanted to get a white paint job and that it would look like that..... lol duhhhhh
