Need opinions from fellow Gen1 owners...
I know that the paint in the photshop looks really dramatic and not completely realistic but it gives you a good idea.

Nah...
I took a look that that link you posted and I'm not really feelin' the chameleon paint job. I wouldn't do it. Stick with black, it looks good as is.

perhaps this might help a bit more...
and
honestly, i was thinking about a chameleon paint job too, but i opted against it. i was looking at the one that just changes 2 color from purple to black, but i just went with a nice black with violet pearl. IMHO, chameleon paint would look good if you're planning to enter shows...and only shows. but as a daily driver, it wouldn't look too good, but hey...it only matters what you think is nice .
here are a few more comments that clublexus has on the color of the paint...

Mischievious GS, thanks a ton for those pics they look great! I realyl wish it was only a deep purple, blue and black, and maybe green, I don't like all the other brighter and yellow colors you get. I am not sure if I should do it or not...

i'd say that you black car with those chrome gettins would look sweet. save your $5000 on the paint job and go buy yourself something else. cameleon paint is not cheap.

What about a deep, deep metallic blue (the kind that looks black except when light hits it directly...)? That would look pretty good IMO (especially with some POLISHED Gettins...with the high polished lip for accent)...

Ok, here is what I have decided as of now.
NO KAMELEON...
I need to see the paint chips, but I am thinking a deep metallic royal blue type color, kinda like the IS300 blue, but not really. I will have an opaque white in it they said which would give me a whitish tint to it kinda, it wouldn't be color shifting but it would look kinda different in the light. As far as my wheels, I am not sure if I will keep my metallic black with the blue paint, or switch to gunmetal, or go to chrome. Obviosuly sticking with whatI have is the cheapest, then powdercoating to gunmetal, and then seling mine to buy chrome would be most expensive.
