No way, looks great. GFM was my first color but found out that Lexus is not building any 350's with GFM/Sport/Nav/ML in the forseable future, only with lux pkg. I'll be just as happy (if not more) with my other choice, SMG/Blk

Hmm... ok... now here's my next question. IS350, GFM, black interior, chrome GS430 wheels: Metallic (reflective) tint, or black? Radio reception doesn't really matter either way to me.

Don't do reflective/mirror tints. Keep it black. Tint the front and rear windows black. It won't look right to have mirror tints in the front and back.

Let the chrome accents provide the reflective touch, not the tint. It will make your wheels stand out a lot more.

Thats what I got.Its not feminine at all. I think that gold color is a little girlish.

White is better.

MG is definitely the most feminine/old. GFM and Breakwater Blue are also very fem.

Yeah, my comment will certainly ruffle some feathers. But come on guys and gals, a creamy shade of white? Looks like something girls use to put on their face to soften their skin. =p Breakwater Blue? Also looks like some kind of spring time face cream. Anyways...

I was told my DSM looks like vomit. C'est la vie.

I'd go GFM over CW easily because it's white and it hides dirt a LOT better than CW can ever dream of doing.

Maybe I'll go with SGM or black. SGM just seems too common to me... every time I see a graphite Mazda3, I think it's an SGM IS

That's wrong and hilarious at the same time.

Take a look at BOP if your looking for a darker color.

Ok that was just stupid!

Anyways does anyone think GFM/blk with blue tints would look nice at all?
