Really? I'd trade you mine for your twisties any day (of course, I'd want the twisties back to silver without paint). I don't like the pie plates, as you can tell from my sig pic haha

I love the black grill. I have a silver sc430 with the winged lion emblem in front which should look great over black. I will keep the chrome too I think. If you want the rear all black why not debadge vs painting? You sc looks great.

That's the way to go. There's a couple holes in the trunk lid where the "L" emblem mounts, so you'd have to fill those in and repaint. And it would look weird to have an inset circle there without anything in it.
