Need ur opinion NELOC Brothers
Ok so I was speaking with a few people on Saturday and I mentioned that in 2 weeks my car is going to the body shop for some paint work. 
First I wasent going to change it then I said well lets go all black. Now althought I do love the two-tone all black is so sexy. Some members voiced that they liked the two-tone and I shouldnt change it. So I was thinkin about it all day and now I'm kind of undecided. 
It still needs some paint work done on the front bumpu and hood and door pillars but undecided now if it should stay or go all black. Tell me what u guys think.

Smitty, your car is pimp just as it is and with the darker gray underside, unlike mine, I dont think there is anything more that needs to be done. Besides the newest trend is the 2 tone look again. If anything, play around with photoshop and variate the 2 tone. Just choose your colors carefully and make sure you like what you are planning to do. Likie I said, personally,, I would not change it at all.

GO ALL BLACK!!! That two tone was the one thing I didnt like about the early ES and LS. Here is GATO's (old?) ES300 painted all black, it looks like a million bucks!

See what you done started Smitty. I agree with Kevin that all black looks sinister, but in look ing at it you lose all of the small attentions to detail that you have put into it. The side skirts, rear lips, etc. In all black form, it just blends into the car and does very little to stand out. Yeah it makes the rims stand out more, but everything else is lost. You got the opinion of an impartial observer (My aunt) yesterday while we were preppin for the meet yesterday.

You already know my stance on this ? Smitty. Keep it gangsta and keep the two tone. Black on black on black, pretty played out. Go all black if you want something that looks like everyone else's. But don't forget this is NELOC, not NETOC. We don't drive toyota's.
