Again I am biased Its a no brainer for me . I thought the red interior was powerful. It is but god its so outstanding. When ever I drive the car I have had people stop me and ask me what I am driving. The 2005 PB has all of the logos blacked out [ BLACK PEARL ]The only chrome logo was the grill but I took care of that and bought a black pearl one to replace it. Most people that look at the car cant tell its a lexus. I even believe it or not used double stripe red pin stripping tape. I did not want to have it painted in case I did not like it. Turns out the red strip really sets the car off and you really cant tell that its not paint. The Donz genovese 20" staggered wheels give the car the low look with out actually lowering the suspension. I used a carbon fibre vinyl covering and wrapped the original Donz center caps [ Two inches in diameter ] And then had a friend of mine make me lexus logo decals [ almost a full circle with the L in the middle ] The decals are metallic silver. I have had lexus salesmen think the wheels are OEM . I put on slotted and drilled rotors and I used lexus red caliper decals right on top of the black metal caliper. I would of liked to have gone with a big brake kit. I just thought it was a bit over the top and I wanted to retain the sports look not a racing look. For my money it really blends well and with the top down and the balck mesh wind screen I bought on ebay it tones the red headrests down a bit . The windscreen really looks good as well as works well. I have the vias unit installed with siruis satelite also the rear back up camera and to top it all off an 8 disk [ hidden in the trunk ] dvd player. Also a glove box mounted single disk dvd player with a tv tuner [ Tuner no longer works since FCC went digital ] The blitz throttle controller in the ash tray and I am done with mods for at least 6 months. I am thinking about adding the ipod capability. Its just so hard to decide what I want to listen to cd dvd tape am fm siruis . The ipod might get me in an accident . I forgot the best mod of all is the luxlink top and remote start and the quarter window mod. The daizen sway bars front and rear and the toms racing front tower strut bar.
Good luck on your purchase

love your red stripe! When are you going to do the 2006+ lights in the rear? I've always thought the black cars looked the best with these because of the contrast with the white lens on that light. I never did it with my 2002 Red because I didn't think the red would look good with that lens. I'll be adding 20" ADR Staggered chrome wheels to mine.
