Vinyl won't replace paint so if you search you'll find defects but its a great way to change you color for something cool and still be able to go back...
Ah, got it - makes sense. I can't wait to see the finished project, the bags are going to be a perfect touch.

Nice choice of color.....Did you wrap the sensor too? does it still work after wrap?
Now you need to smoke the tail light......Perfect

Yes the sensors work fine once they are wrapped.

Not a fan of the 90's smoked tail lights... I remember when it was cool back then and don't think it's cool now. Just my opinion.

Cool

I go to the Chicago Auto Show at McCormick Place every year in February and this year there was a Mercedes-Benz in matte cream. Stole the show. I think this Lexus will definitely kick its ***! Great job!

i get it that you were bored, but my humble opinion is that the car looked perfect in white/gold.

Looks great, you did a good job. Are you going to wrap the chrome around the windows too?

have you ever thought about blacking out the chrome trim on the head lights? I've been thinking about it... it would look pretty sick!!!
edit: stupid me i was looking at the white GS which was what it looked like before... damn that looks pretty sexy!
