If you want to change the way your car looks, 50% of that is the wheels.... consider getting something like the F-Sport or some other wheel (then sell them when you return the car from lease).
- Tint is good (see the FAQ at top of this forum for link to master tint thread)
- Aerotect redouts or similar
- If you really like black, I'd look into what some members have done getting a black vinyl cover applied to their roof... relatively inexpensive, removable and a big visual change.
Unfortunately wheels are a little out of my budget atm, that's why I was hoping for some creative ideas such as the ones you gave above.
Thanks!

Should have bought a phallic-shaped car - like the BMW Z4. Other than that, just roll your windows down at stoplights and grunt at everybody like Tim Allen in Home Improvement.

shrug if women like the car thats a good thing right? Why drive a car that only guys like? :P hahaha j/k. In college I always thought the Celica GTS was a girl's car, but I always loved that car(no money then ). Same with the IS, no regrets. Other than the fact that I am now currently obsessed with looking into mods and stuff for it and fear of any damage hurting the car. hehehe.

ISx50 is definitly not a woman's car, but it definitly attracts woman. All my female friends goes nuts when they see my car, they tell me it's better than any bmw, benz, audi they've ever seen out there...well, from their point of view, I agree LOL but yeah, if you think it's a woman's car, nothing you do will change that, unless you change to something else.

I drive a 250. I dress well. I wax my chest....
...I also dare someone to call me a woman..
... I'll either knock you out or choke you out.
It's all how you carry yourself. You should be looking at yourself, not your car if you're asking this question.

I think any modding is manly. I don't know many women that mod. If you're on a budget, get some redouts. If you don't have HIDs get those. Definately lower it with some springs, and get a nice axleback exhaust. As for not liking silver... you shouldn't have bought it. I love my tungsten color. I think its an easy color to mod with. Black pearl emblems look amazing on silver.
