I like the black roof idea--looks futuristic & unique without bring obnoxious.

I did this on mine (it's actually black with blue flake) but it's
pretty subtle against Spectra Blue. I love how it makes the
roof look like a solid piece of glass.

The 2GS handles this look very well because of how the
drip rails align with the windshield and rear window.

Go for it!

Nice catch but I already beat ya to posting Jawnthen's car.

Jawnthen DOES now have a roof spoiler and he chose to keep it Silver as a contrast.

The rear deck is black also and the rear lip spoiler is painted silver as well.

He now topped everything off with a black center painted hood.

He's got a distinctive paint scheme that may not be for everybody, but he did win the "People's Choice" award at last years Big EOS 6 meet.

I think you'll have to wait and see how the whole package now looks to decide what you think. All I can say is he executed it well and the job is clean and aggressive.

Yesterday, I asked JAWNTHEN to post up new pics. He did a complete photo shoot a couple months ago, but his hard drive crashed and he lost everything.

The wheather and his spare time have not allowed him to re-shoot.

I'll estimate it will be over a month before he can shoot and post new pics.

Guess you'll just have to use your imagination for now.

Do it! just make sure that you can picture it in your head and it looks good, and your satisfied with it! I think it will it would, just make sure it's genuine lexus paint or better, and it's done by a professional!

Actually it was not "People's Choice" but "Best GS" instead. "People's Choice", I believe went to lightwave76.
