MY plasti-bro!!! Let the hating begin. Did this over the weekend as well as I took off the chrome piece on the back, debadged all words on the back besides the L logo with the black filled in behind. I put just the IS letters on my grill and left them chrome to match.

love the debadged look. the wheels look pretty good from the pics, plastidipped right? i would think particles will adhere to the rubber in the future but i guess you'll find out, and of course you can rip it off if it starts looking ugly. the IS on the front grille is an interesting idea, but it looks out of place imo. i like how your trying to be different though! interested to see what else you have in store.

For a positive note, at least you kept the Lexus emblem on the wheels un-Plasti-dipped. Otherwise, I don't see what all the random changes and plasti-dipping are good for on a non-stock car it could individualize you since so many modded cars here have "twins" but otherwise they just aren't working IMO
