With all due respect to whoever ownes that all-white ES, I STILL think calichris's two-tone looks sexier! Tints on it would look good though. Just my 0.02 cents worth.

i think the 2 tone looks pretty sexy.. makes the white look brighter, but then again all white would b nice, but if you do go all white, make sure you do 2 clear coat then it will blend better with the top half..

i think the same thing as you. so other cars llok a lot better as monotone to, like the older s class' and the older ls' and the lx, make the cars look so much newer

So again does your price include jamming cuz I would NEVER do it with out jamming it would look cheap.

Ok when you open the door look down you can see the gold that you want to paint white when you open the door. Imagine getting in your car and seeing that it would just look cheap. I would ask the paint shop if that includes painting that.

it means, are they going to spray the interior also.

EX. when you open the door... whatever color shows, are they going to paint that portion also.
