what do you guys think of think, im wondering how it would look on a lakeshore..

 

My thought is black accents do not look good on the LS. It's a tricky color to use as a pallette. Take wheels for example. Black is a no no, gold is out, gunmetal is too dark, bronze might be OK but would clash with the silver trim on the sedan, and so on. I would only replace my wheels with a bright silver because anything else just looks wack IMO.

 

IMO, i dont think black goes well with LS. BlueDream said it... too many silver/chrome accents for black to get tossed into the mix... I just recently went emblemless with my grille and went with a silver to match headlights and other accents on car...

 

I would agree with the above posts, black just doesn't work on LS IMO. I contemplated doing black accents a while back but decided to go with silver (grill, headlights, wheels).

What are you putting the overlay on, taillights, roof?

 

Pic of your car? I haven't a silver grill on an LS other than mine. Did you paint your headlights silver too?

 

Yeah, Im happy with my color choice sofar. I found that with the lighter paint you must do alot more prep work to have the final product come out well, say versus black where imperfections become muted...

I swear, I washed my car this past weekend


please excuse the cellphone pic

 

^Looks sweet!!

 

Do a silver overlay.

Just kidding. I probably wouldn't do black with that color, but I guess you could always remove the overlay if you hated it.

 

I don't like the silver grills on LS sedans. I prefer the dark chrome grill. Chrome and silver accents look good (like the wheels on candlestickpark's car)

 

ccc123pm u need some coupe 18s or spacer + drop!
only reason why i was thinking of a black overlay was because it would somewhat match the darkness of my rims, they are like gunmetal greyish

 

i know, i know, AWD sedans look like monster trucks... just ordered strut tower bar and then hopefully will get some wheels hopefully over the summer.

 

LS+Silver just works.
I think LS could pull off a black roof though... but only the roof, not black accents... and not an overlay either... If you did a black roof on LS, it would have to be paint (for the gloss) and you would have to have the windows tinted... IMO, that's the only way it would work.

 

Im diggin the coupe wheels up there.

 

thanks, i was going to keep em oem color but i see them every single day.. i had to do something different.

 

I guess I'm the only one rocking tinted tails on LS out of Sedan owners. I saw a few on the coupe, but not on the sedan.
