Lexbox: Yah I'm going to paint the calipers some subtle color soon. Probably silver or black.
Will: They're the same color but I guess it's really hard to match metallic silver, especially when viewed under sunlight![Sad](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/sad.gif)

Nice set of rims! The dark color looks really good on a silver car. Remember my dark wheels on my black GS? Too Dark! LOL!
Have you seen my updated set of 20's? Looks like both you and I need new sigs. Wanna do mine?

As long an you like it is all that matters.
Personally, I can't seem to find a flow with the kit since the seams are thick. The wheels might look best with Black Onyx or Black Cherry GS. The spoiler and side sticker...no comment.

I would have gone with some kind of chrome or polished lip, and more low key spoiler, droped lower, but I see your going more for a sporty look. It looks nice and sporty.

Thanks for all the comments guys. Really appreciate it
Brent, I haven't seen your wheels! where are the pics? The last time I met you was like 5 years ago!
Many people don't like the C-One spoiler, but I've been thinking about it since the 2nd day I bought my GS. I saw it on an 1999 issue of Options magazine, and I've always said to myself that I'm going to get a C-One rear spoiler no matter how over-sporty it is on a GS.
So since I got the spoiler last year during a relative's trip to Japan, I've been hearing both sides of comments, both good and bad. It might be sporty to some, but I think if a company makes it for the Aristo (and not some knock-off company ripping some other car's wing), then it's there for a purpose. I had the Win.Racing style rear spoiler from 2001 ~ 2005, as more people get that, I needed to move on.
At least I'm the only person I know on CL (or anywhere in the US lol) sporting a C-One spoiler. Can't beat being unique.

some more pics I took this afternoon:
When driving, only the small polished lip shows. Everything else is dark.
That means, it looks like a 16" wheel when going around town
The rear is a "face-2", meaning the spokes reach inward towards the center hub. Really aggressive. (R34 GT-R style)
Close-up of the rear wheel.

Next mod to come: Painting my calipers! Should I do silver or black or gold?
any suggestions?
