funny, the older generation gs were two tone (i think?), same with the es and the ls. they looked ok. but on the new one it just doesn't work imho
oh and btw, to those who don't know, on the 2nd gen gs, if you really color match, the lower part of the car (two bumpers, 4 door caps), they are actually different color from the upper body. they are a bit darker in color i believe. very subtle, but different. body shop showed me. if you order a factory door cap from lexus, for example on my car it's just blue, painted already, and the color is a bit off from the normal spectra blue of the car.
so technically the 2nd gen gs is already two tone

can't stand two tone
I bought a 92 lexus es300 with two tone, the same one in the pics someone posted, the paint was perfect I HAD to change it, repainted the whole car. I didn't know it lowered the price of selling it though. I can't stand that at all

The GS looks horrible, and I've personally seen that color combo around here too.
I like the IS, but where is the two tone?? On the front fender??
