Star Fire Pearl? I think that's what the Lexus white was called for the IS.
Such a sexy color.

I think you should try painting the wheels bronze, and keeping the lip silver/polished.

That'll look extremely nice.

Sad to see the SSM go, but it should look good! If you don't want the spoiler I'm sure there is a SSM around your way that will trade you trunk lids prior to your paint. I'd trade if you were local.

Dont paint the wheels the same color as your car. I always hated how that looked.
Good luck with ur paint job!

when they spray, make sure they do it right and don't make it a two tone TL with all the jambs and run channels silver, and then the body white...

Soon enough you're name will all be a lie. =]

Definitely keep us updated.
I checked out the Glacier Frost Mica Pearl... Very nice! I like the effect it gives of a blue and pinkish-white hues while having some white-pearl to it. Awesome choice.
