No don't do that. Look at LexusKid's GS, for instance. He has a custom two tone paint job, yet clean and tasteful.

By the way, what part of AZ are you in?

Not on a Lexus; I grew up on the old-school lowriders and I still like that style on the right car. It shouldn't be on anything but an old Impala, Caddy, or Monte Carlo; something like that.

eh.......

it may look okay with slightly different tones of the same color. like black with different shades of dark gray...that viper is fugly. lexuskid's GS4 is a perfect example of a classy and subtle two-tone job as mex_lex stated

dont forget the GS at one point was over $50K. i dont think a outrageous paintjob would make it look good anymore.
