Default Anyone buy the reflective vinyl front grill logo yet?

Saw the installation video on youtube so I checked out the instagram page. On my black GS I think this would work but wanted to see if anyone else had some first hand experience with it...

Nice find. I sent him a text and I'm going to try this out. Looks like an easy mod for my GS F and if I don't like it, easy to peel off for $30.

Let me know. I personally think it would look better with a clear gloss vinyl over the reflective it to make it look more OEM. Here is what I did using laminx which I still like but the reflective is diff.

Can you share a closer up and angled shot. Curious the texture. If it is still reflective under clear view your I bet a sheet of clear gloss on top would give it a great OEM look.

Sure I can take some close ups when I get home but for now this is what I have on my phone. Now the way he did it was to put a black gloss wrap over the emblem first then a cutout of the lexus emblem in reflective vinyl on top for it to stick out.

I mean I can ask him and he can just mail it out in an envelope pre-cut and you just need to apply it yourself.

The reflective vinyl isn't just a sticker it's an expensive material. And it's quality 3m not eBay vinyl and two pieces as well.
