Did you remove anything to wrap the chrome trim on the doors?

I tried plastidipping that area.. Couldn't get it the way I wanted it to.

All a work in progress now. New wheels and suspension are next. Just taking care of all the vinyl work while I save up the funds for the big stuff.

Nope....didn't remove anything. Wrapped everything right on the car. I'm not 100% happy with my craftsmanship, but it was also my first time attempting it. But I'm also really critical of my own work. Lol.

Default Gloss black roof wrap

Finally got around to wrapping the roof of the Lexus the other day. Too bad the weather just isn't cooperating for pics.





Also got my WeatherTech rear DigitalFit mats in today.

Rear badge is the factory rear emblem and the front badge is from Sewell.
The badges were tinted by my body shop. Didn't feel like dropping $300+ on two badges. So they sold me the badges in regular chrome and I had them custom tinted.

Default More Vinyl - Engine bay time

Had some Grey 3M wrapping material laying around and thought i would give this a shot and see how well it holds up.

So far after two days of driving it seems to be holding up ok.

The grey is very close to Nebula Grey but not exact. It's just a shade lighter.

Tai3IS, you mentioned that you got a chrome badge from Sewell and just had it tinted. I can't seem to find the chrome ones on their site (unless I'm blind?). Do you by chance have a link for them?

Also, it would be great if you could post a full rear shot when you have some time. I'd like to see how the whole rear end looks (the car, not yours, sorry) with this new color scheme.

Did you remove the lettering from the rear?

Default Suspension finally here.

UPS brought a nice package today. Set of BC Racing coilovers with custom Swift Spring (12/10) upgrade. Can't wait to get these on. Stock height just isn't cutting it anymore. Lol.



Will post pics once I get to installing them sometime this week.
