White C300

Heres a friends C300 with some matte black added to it. Haven't had time to edit the pictures but you get the point. So i apologize in advance for the poor pictures. Oh and by the way the white IS25o is mine.

White c300 with matte black hood, roof, and trunk.

It's different.. I actually kind of like it, just if he's going to cover the trunk trim, cover the window trim and de-chrome the doors. That'd look more uniform. Swap for some different rims and a Lux grill (painted matte black) and I think it would look pretty fresh

Ohh and I'm diggin' the Lexus too ;D

Sorry, but I think it looks like a dyslexic Oreo. Or some kind of knock-off Nike shoe that went horribly awry. If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

The IS would look so clean if it was debadged too. Why does use drilled in holes/bolts :[? Anywhoo. Those are some clean looking cars. Somewhat reminds me of RobIS250's IS. Except without all the CF.

Lexus Is and the Infinti G look great....

It's the merc that i'm having trouble looking at.... the bonnet color and the trunk tape must come off ... then... it would be ok to look at... but that's just me

It's his car and if he's happy with it.... God bless! Amen

It looks alright, I get what you were trying to do.. strangely enough, having the half wrapped ears bothers me the most. Also, if you're wrapping the grill in the front, why not the face of the trunk? The combination of effects leaves it a bit off-balanced.

The roof, the lower part of the front bumper and the grill are ok but not sure about the hood and trunk. Maybe it looks better with some sick wheel/tyre combo.

Like the Infinity but also the IS is a hot ride

Looks decent. I would have finished the trunk lid, left the front star chrome and black wheels are needed.

I think the black eyelid fits good in this case. It matches the black on the side mirrors.

You are almost there, just finish the rest of the car in matte black and it will look awesome.
