I love the two tone... Thats one thing that I do not like from the LS430's or 460's..the monotone....

I went outside and looked at mine and i now know what is wrong with it.
On mine when i painted it I sprayed it all with the factory color . Then i masked off the leading edge and sprayed the rest black . So all the inside supports and inside edges blended in . If they had done that it would have looked nice instead it looks cheap.
Which is why mine looks black in pics unless it is being looked at from above.

i dont' care for it at all. i love pearl white LS's, but that one looks bad. maybe the combination of the grille, plus it's all stock except for that, so it just doesn't fit, along with the mono white paint. drop it 4" , 18's and it would look so much better.

I don't like it one bit. Some colors could pull this off but definitely not white in my opinion. It just takes away from that whole luxury look that the LS has.

Should have gone with the mod using the grille from a UCF20/21...that looks 100% better IMHO.
